Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who prayed for me Friday. I was aware of grace for the remainder of the day and felt a peace that passes understanding. Thank you, Tali, for taking my call in the midst of your busyness at the moment and for speaking truth to me. The Lord used you to reveal that I was craving ease. I was fighting for it and believing I deserved it. Amy, your encouragement proved true for me. Amy pointed out Proverbs 28:13 - Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. God was merciful as I revealed my sin and I felt the difference very quickly.

You cannot know, nor can I, the extent to which your prayers helped me. By God's mercy he answered your prayers and I was able to depend on him for strength. Thank you for praying and for following up with me.  It is a blessing to know others are interceding on my behalf before the Father. Much more, it is a blessing to know that Jesus is interceding for us! Romans 8:34 says, "Christ Jesus is the one who died - more than that, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us."
