Don't Ignore It

When you feel an urgency in your spirit to pray, just do it. Right at that moment. Don't question it. You may not understand why or who right then, but take my advice...PRAY!!!

My husband just called me a few minutes ago. It's about 7:30 AM right now. Bobby is leaving this morning to go on a weekend golf trip. He was taking our daughters to school on his way out of town. On the way there, Bobby looked both ways (obviously!) before pulling out onto the main road. No cars. All clear. Suddenly a speeding truck was heading straight for Bobby's vehicle!!!! Apparently some guy decided to pass another car but didn't see Bobby. Thankfully there was no accident.

I had been awake for part of the night so I was rather tired and still in bed when they all left this morning. I was awake; just not up out of bed. My stomach felt sick as I was laying there. My thoughts went to praying for Bobby as he would be traveling today. That's when I started praying....EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AS WHEN THAT TRUCK WAS SPEEDING TOWARD BOBBY & THE GIRLS!!!

How do I know that? I know because Bobby called me right after it happened and told me he & the girls were almost killed. I asked him what time. He told me and it was the time when I was praying.

So, really listen to that still small voice; that 'prompt to pray'. It's ALWAYS good to pray!

Pray without ceasing! 1Thessalonians 5:17

  2. Thanks for your comment on my post.

    I couldn't agree with you more. It's so easy sometimes to not listen to God and when He may be urging us to pray. Our ears and hearts must be turned to Him.
    Thanks for the encouragement and great reminder!

  6. That is so amazing! God is so amazing! I couldn't agree with you more. I have been awoken in the night with an urgency to pray for one of my kids and I do respond and sometimes I get out of bed and get on my knees. Most times there was nothing wrong with the child, but it could have been spiritual warefare. I think it is wise for us women to respond to these feelings with fervent prayer. I am sooooo thankful your family is okay and the wreck was avoided. Praise the Lord.

    Hugs, Sharon

  7. So true! Isn't God amazing?

    I was telling my husband about your cousin last night, escaping the WTC and the tsunami and he was in shock. He couldn't believe that he couldn't see God's hand. We will continue to pray!!
