Rainbows and Prayers

Rainbow over midtown Honolulu

Good Morning God!

This photo was taken (at a red light) on my way to the Prayer Workshop Thursday morning. At that point it was actually a double rainbow.  But I was thrilled to capture what I did!  It seemed like an omen — a promise of your faithfulness.

Then this morning, as I was pondering what image I could use to talk about Prayer, I thought — THE RAINBOW!

Yesterday, in the HIM Conference Prayer Room I experienced two hours of incredible PRAYER — that doesn’t even describe it.  I SAW / FELT YOUR HAND bringing about CONNECTIONS.  First, we began the morning standing in a circle — holding hands and praying out loud. Then one team member wrote out a prayer card for her son and handed it to me as I was the “Host”.  God, you moved in MY heart and I WROTE out a card for my oldest daughter. Yes, God, I remember trying to get by with just TALKING my prayer request!  After I read my card out loud at our small prayer table the woman next to me said “I could have written that prayer!” Then the women next to her said “I could have written that prayer, word for word!” And all five of us at that prayer table had the same prayer — the same hearts’ desire. We were all oldest daughters — praying for our oldest child.

In a few minutes it got even better as a young man we had prayed for came back for more prayer for his “food poisoning.” It was a friend of the woman’s son and we were able to pray specifically for deeper inner healing for the same trauma that had befallen her son!  GLORIOUS!  WHAT TIMING!  WHAT INNER PREPARATION!

Dear Lord God, how can I even begin to thank You for being part of that healing prayer? How I wish EVERYONE could EXPERIENCE just HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM AND DESIRE TO HELP AND HEAL US!!!!

THANK YOU!  I LOVE YOU!
