I don't really know where to begin, so much has happened to a people I care for in Haiti. So much to recap. I leave these links for you to read on and pray for. http://livesayhaiti.blogspot.com/ and http://lovingonemore.com/ .They are a few of the warriors fighting right now in the battle against time, to save lives. I'm just here praying with so many others. We pray without ceasing, on our knees. What else is there for us to do. We pray, we give, we plan, we ask God to use us in anyway He can. We humble ourselves as our hearts ache. We cry out to the God who is compassionate, the God of love and mercy.
I sit here in the early hours. 3am to be exact. I was sleeping peacefully, but the Lord woke me up and so wide awake I sit here, praying, listening to worship, and asking the Lord what do you require of me?
He said, go to Isaiah. And so the Lovely words that He showed me again, words that he had spoken so clearly at another time to me, words that in my bible had been highlighted and notes written around it, words that heal, He showed them to me again. He simply spoke through His word and said "I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city . . . I will defend this city" Isaiah 38:5-6
Does God hear our prayers? Does it even make a difference if we pray. The answer written deep in our hearts, the word written by the spirit of the Lord says YES! He hears our cries, He sees our tears. He looks down on the people of Haiti and says, I love you. He is a compassionate God, He is a sovereign God. He is God and He is Good!
Lord in Your mercy, Hear our prayer.
Call to me and I will answer you and show you great unsearchable things that you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3
I just found your blog thru "Kate" in Ill....and I love your writing and freshness....sometimes a book is not what I want....or where to go in scripture directly(always works, but I'm on the computer a lot looking for inspiration...from the Lord...usually in my art)and reading your posts, with awesome wonderful soft love spoken in them has been a treat....real life with the awareness of who He is for us and us for Him....and with a giggle....love you in Jesus!!
ReplyDelete...opps..."with a giggle" was referring to the camelback mountain slide experience post....but I LOVE this in Isaiah....and how I would like to go and comfort and hold those who are hurting....prayer is powerful and sustains us....
ReplyDeleteThank you dear "Say it in Color" Kate is such a beautiful person and I praise Him for you sharing that same beauty in Him also. Be blessed by the King!
