Prayer & a Car Crash

 







This last week on Tuesday, September 5th I was at work and I received the above text from a friend I had not heard from or messaged since April of this year.  It was a nice encouraging message to see.  I was going to message him back, but decided to head home for my usual early lunch (I take lunch near 11AM). On my way home from work and only 20 minutes after I had received the text message from my friend who was praying for me, I went through a green light while a truck heading in the opposite direction went through a red light.  I saw him approaching quickly, tried to speed up to avoid the truck but it clipped the back of my car anyway.  Luckily the guy had insurance, he took 100% responsibility for the crash, I wasn't hurt, and we both happened to have the same insurance company. 

When the Holy Spirit nudges you to pray, definitely be obedient in praying for that person or about that situation.  This goes for me as well.  Also, reach out to those the Holy Spirit nudges you to pray for and let them know you are thinking of them and praying for them.  A lot of people are going through various things and some simple words of encouragement and compassion goes a long way. 

This post is to be part of the goal to memorialize more God moments in my life that happen. Things large and small that happen that we are amazed at and we know it was God, but many times fade into the past when we are so anxious about the present.
