Big Stuff from Short Stuff

I had a lesson in faith today at church. Actually, there were several distinct things. I will just briefly share one. Perhaps, more later.

Lydia is a very petite little girl. I think that she might be 5 or so. Yes, 5-year-olds come in small packages. But even for a 5-year-old, she is tiny with big eyes and long blond hair.

God was speaking to me in several ways this morning. In the end, the tears won out. As I was trying to pull myself together, Lydia walked up to me. (I know her but not well.) When I bent down, she said, "I need you to pray for me. I've got a really bad cough. I don't feel good."

So, I wrapped my arms around her and prayed that the Good Doctor would come and take away her cough, make her feel better, and give her good rest. I promised on would pray for her this week.

I've been very introspective lately, God is working on me in some areas. But God used Lydia to remind me that it's okay to ask for prayers and to do so totally anticipating an answer.

Will you pray for me? I'm hearing God in many ways right now. Some ways are quite difficult, but I am trying to listen and respond appropriately. Pray that I will be quick to listen and obey the promptings I hear.
