This is a fictional story for Faith Writers
and this week’s subject is “rash”
This one particular day I just knew I
had to get out of bed and get started for the day ahead but Oh I was having so
much me time just enjoying the comfort of my bed that it was hard to shift
myself but shift myself I must. So, after a long stretch I just mumbled to
myself ok girl you really do need to get going. I then put my feet on the floor
and got up and had another stretch whereby I then decided I needed a cup of
coffee.
After I had showered and dressed for the
morning and had my second cup of coffee (yes, I like my coffee, but it has to
be weak), I then did my bible study which was fun and was on Ephesians 6,
basically all about the Armour of God – so that was good. I spent some time in
prayer as well thinking and remember friends and family that I needed to pray
for before going to look at my “to do list” for the day. Whilst I was reading
through I heard the phone ringing, so I thought I had better answer the call-in
case it was important.
As it happened the call was from a dear
friend who had been struggling health wise up until a few days ago. Anyway, she
needed to get to the doctor’s surgery that morning as her car had broken down.
The appointment was an important one. I knew I had a lot on today and I wasn’t
sure if I could fit in taking this friend for her appointment. Oh decisions,
decisions had to be made. I needed to
make a rash decision and it had to be the right decision whereby I could see if
another friend could take her otherwise I would need to take her in my car and
forgo something else I had to do which was equally important. Oh, my what was I
to do, I hated making rash decisions and sometimes when I did do this for other
reasons they weren’t always the right decisions.
I decided to take this to The Lord in
prayer, so I did. Not long after I had prayed the phone rang again and
basically this was from another friend saying that she felt I should take this
other friend to the doctors that morning and she would take care of one of the
other important things on my list that I had to do. Now how did this friend possibly
know about the predicament I was in - this only had to be from the Lord. So, I
breathed a sigh of relief knowing my prayer had indeed been answered.
I took my friend to the doctors and as
it happened I am pleased I went with her as she had some good news, you see she
had been suffering from Fibromyalgia and the week before I had forgotten that I
had prayed for her healing. The doctor who saw her this morning gave her a
clean bill of health and she was no longer in pain or suffering from any of the
symptoms of this horrible illness – how on earth could I have forgotten that I
had prayed with her. We got in the car and we both thanked Jesus for her
healing and then we decided to go for a well-deserved lunch – so we did 😊. Just knowing
that our prayers had been answered was a true blessing from God as He always
knows what we need right at the anointed time. He is indeed a Father who
answers prayers and we just need to trust in Him.
So, I know that before I make any rash
decisions in life that I need to take them to The Lord and I just know He will
be faithful in answering my prayers as He will yours too.
