“If I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before Him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” Job 5:8,9

Miracles

In the last update I mentioned that I have unexpected things come up from time to time that I have to deal with  I’m dealing with one of those at the moment. I asked for your prayers for wisdom, favor, and resolution of the matter. Thank you for your prayers!

I’ve been trying not to stress, but the potential implications of this particular matter are quite huge…so I’ve been concerned. Of course I’ve been praying daily—many times a day.

On Wednesday evening I was talking to the Lord again about all this. My heart was stirred about the miracle-working power of the Lord! I thought of all the miracles I’ve seen in my lifetime. I KNOW that God intervenes in situations with His miracle power. I began to pray for a miracle with the matter I’m dealing with. I went on to pray for family and friends, but I was particularly burdened to pray for the current situation. I went to bed after praying with a fresh peace in my heart.

The next morning I got an email from the person I’ve been dealing with. She explained to me about some consultations she’d had, and the end result is that the situation was resolved! It was truly a MIRACLE. There were so many other ways it could have gone—more likely ways. It’s also the kind of thing that could have dragged on for months and months. There’s still some follow up (please pray for that), but the issue is settled. I was so, so, so relieved! I had a wonderful time of worship in thanking the Lord. I’m still thanking Him!

This experience has given me fresh faith and hope in my heart to pray for more miracles. I think sometimes when I don’t see miracles, don’t see immediate answers to prayer—I get “laid back” in my prayers. I still pray, but not with the same fervency. I have fresh fervency after seeing this miracle!

I know that each one of you reading this has things on your heart that you need answers for—you need miracles for. Let’s stir our hearts to ask and believe for answers. I know God hears. He listens to each prayer. He sees our hearts. He feels our pain in the difficult situations. Let’s keep asking God for miracles—for ourselves, for our friends and loved ones, and for our nations.

“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27).

We can’t demand, but we can ask! I’m asking afresh.

Lord, we lay our causes and burdens at Your feet and ask You to show Yourself strong on our behalf, that You may be glorified. Amen.
