Healing from pain...

Every morning that I prayer walk, there is always an older man who is sitting on his porch. We have become buddies and say hi to each other as I pass by. He is very precious. Today as I walked passed, in my heart I heard, "Ask him if he needs prayer for anything." So, I walked another lap around to get back to him. I stopped to ask him and he said, "I had cancer a long time ago and I had surgery on my chest. Ever since then I have had pain every morning and every night from the surgery." I asked him to put his hand where the pain was and I laid my hand on his. After I prayed for him I asked him if he had any pain. I told him to be completely honest because I didn't want him to say he had no pain just to make me happy. He said, "You want me to be completely honest? I have no more pain there and before you prayed for me I did." Aggghhhh!!! I was so excited! I encouraged him about staying in faith and told him I would be back to check on him in a few days. I am asking God for lots more opportunities like this.

God is so good!!! can you imagine if you never went over there to pray for him? He would still be in pain. Thank you for being faithful and for allowing God to use you. You are such an example to me. :)
