1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 pray without ceasing…
Praying before we start each day will help us in so many ways. As we do so, it helps us to stay close to God. It can also help us avoid a lot of unnecessary things and dangers that we may encounter otherwise.
One morning I had picked up my Grandchildren. They wanted to spend some time with us.
On the way to our house, they wanted to go to the store. So, me being the Grandmommy, I said, “of course”.
As we got into the store, the kids walked ahead of us. They were close by, in sight and within hearing distance. But my granddaughter was out in the front of us all, heading toward the toy aisle. She was excited and smiling, knowing that she was going to get a little toy.
I then noticed a man around 30 – 35 years of age come in through a nearby entrance. He stood out to me because I could see him looking intently at my granddaughter, and I got an awful feeling in my stomach.
She turned to go to the toy aisle and he was right behind her, not realizing we were right behind them.
I immediately called her by name and she stopped. I said, “wait up for us.” He kept walking to where the toy aisles ended and then circled back around.
As we reached where she was, he walked by the aisle, looking down it to see if she was still alone. He realized she wasn’t alone and walked right back out the same door he came in. Everything about this encounter says that he was on a mission with evil intent.
I believe God protected her that day. And that is what prayer does. I am so very thankful and I don’t take it for granted.
As we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, God moves! Giants fall, situations change, healing comes, victory comes, restoration and protection take place.
Colossians 4:2 (NKJV) 2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.
God is faithful!! Amen.
