Pray and Keep Praying!

I share a nightly Bible Study over the phone with a close loved one. A significant person in my life and 2 nights ago when I rang to share our regular study he was being loaded onto an ambulance and taken to Hospital with what was confirmed to be a mild heart attack. He is currently in one hospital waiting for a bed to become available at another larger hospital where they will fly him for further treatment.

We have hope and trust in God and I am praying for him and with him via the phone, I wish I could be there with him but due to my own health and transport issues the best I can do is be there on the phone. But this is the type of situation where the Bible tells us to pour out our hearts before God.

Too many people when things fall apart or situations like this happen, blame God for allowing it to occur and avoid His presence. That is a HUGE MISTAKE. Because it's times like this that you need Him the Most!

It's often hard to pray when your heart is breaking, that's why I started this website. But when you have prayed with a broken heart, telling God your deepest fears, and needs, then you have really 'poured out your heart'. That is the truly deepest prayer the Bible talks about. But before you even do that you need to get His attention, and the quickest way to do that is with Praise! When Paul and Silas were imprisoned chained up in the stocks after being beaten.....do you really think they felt like singing and praising God? I am fairly sure they didn't ......but they did it anyway......why? Because it was a way into God's presence and when you get his attention - things change. Getting there is a sacrifice of your feelings, to give God glory in spite of your circumstances, and it is always worth the cost.

Please pray for Mark, for healing and recovery, and that God would fill him with the Holy Spirit, bringing the comfort of his presence and that he would grant him wisdom and guidance.
