Mom, Let Me Try!

Mom, let me try…

My friend lost his dad recently, and for the first few days of grieving, his mom would sit down and he would get on his knees and lean into her and pray. After a few days of watching this, one of his brothers, a brand new believer, said; “Mom, let me try”, and he prayed with her. When I first heard this story it melted my heart, as a mom and as a woman. What a blessing to have someone pray for you with such passion.

I had a dear girlfriend of mine pray with me on many occasions. But one night about 2:00AM we were in a spiritual foxhole together. As we sat and prayed I told her I thought God wanted me to be on my knees, so we both got on our knees. We stayed on them and prayed until they were numb. That melted my heart too.

I was blessed with yet another friend who prayed for me recently and again my heart melted. I was in my car taking care of the last minute details of a seminar I was going to do that same day. I was nervous, upset, tired and had lost my “edge” so to speak. That little bit of confidence that gets you up there if you know what I mean. I called my friend to ask for prayer and after a brief but powerful pep talk, my ears heard “Let me pray for you right now, but don’t close your eyes while you’re driving!” Not only did my heart melt, my eyes leaked!

Not just because what was prayed, but how it was prayed and when it was prayed. Right then and there-on the spot! Sometimes life’s an ER and you’re doing triage. I really want to be the kind of woman who knows when the time to pray is right now. Amen?
