Excerpt from my Prayer Journal

4/15/08

While watching the morning news I perked up when someone quoted the great Franklin D Roosevelt - "There's nothing to fear but fear itself."

A commercial came on and I decided to turn the channel to another program. Upon stopping, I immediately heard another person on the television screen say, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself." Now having heard it twice, I perked up even more and leaned in asking God, "What is going on?"

I do not believe in coincidences. I began asking God the questions. I think God is preparing me for something. I will continue to remind myself that whatever it is - I will not fear- God will be with me.

The Long Horned Spirit

Sometimes when I fall upon my face I have no idea what might be revealed to me. One day as I was praying, the Lord revealed this image to me. It looked sad, depressed, and evil. I have no idea what it was or what it meant. I saw the rings around the horns and know that they must symbolize something - still I am not sure what that might be.

I Prayed

I continued to pray in my prayer language asking God to reveal to me what was going on. The Lord does not always reveal. Sometimes he just wants us to be willing to fall on our knees and intercede - without questions - without answers.

As I prayed the spirit moved farther away as others had done before. God understood. God knew. That's all that mattered.
