Word travels fast when bad news arises. At times I find myself not really realizing how many people might know of what is going on around me. Its not like I walk around with a huge sign over me with an arrow pointing right at me saying "she has a problem and is need of some encouragement".
Thankfully God knows how show us encouragement. It could be through His word or a thought that he places in your head. A sweet moment might happen that brings you back to thinking forward like you should. A person can be placed in your path at just the right time. God is the one responsible for that and that is such a wonderful thing that he does for us.
I went into Walmart the other day and was just going along my way picking up a few things when a mutual friend of mine and my husbands walks up to me. She asked me how I was doing, but it was with that look and tone that I knew that she knew what was going on in my life. She asked if I had a few minutes and pulled me off to the side and asked if she could pray for me. So we stood there together and she prayed for me and then she gave me a little pep talk (coming from the Lord through her) and hugged me and off I went about my way.
It was wonderful and I was truly blessed that I had that moment with my friend. I was feeling down and just walking through the store on auto pilot just existing. Thank you God for placing her in my path. My chin was lifted heavenward again.
Just this morning I dropped my bible on the floor and all my little papers fell out. I picked everything up and before shoving it all back in, I sat down to look at these little papers. I found the following note from a friend and after I read it I looked upward and said thank you Lord.
Katrina,
I love you and I am so sorry you are in such a difficult time right now. I hope I can be an ear when you need one, and a friend as I should be. I am hurting with you and will be praying for you.
Laura
P.S. Let the Lord be your strength; comfort and pray for His wisdom and discernment
