Testimony

Sorry for the long post ahead.

This morning on my drive to work I was praying and reflecting on the things God did in church service last night. God moved in a lot of ways, and did a work in me as well. Key word: change. I believe God did more last night than we realize. On my drive in this morning, I stopped to get gas at the station I always do. Corner of Phoenix and I540; a busy station that always has the best prices, and a nice older woman runs it. I pre-paid with cash just as I always do. I fuelled my car, just as I always do. But today was different. As I was pumping gas, the spirit of God spoke to me that I needed to pray for her. I ignored it and convinced myself it was just my own mind thinking it and tried to think of other things. As I finished up and began to get in my car, it was too strong on the inside of me to ignore so I shut the car door and marched back into the gas station. Lady had a puzzled look on her face to see me again but I looked her in the eyes and said: I believe God wants me to pray for you. Is there anything you need prayer for? She told me she has back surgery scheduled for the 27th this month. So right there in the gas station with not a single other customer in sight, we bowed our heads and prayed. We prayed for healing, restoration, and the peace of God. We prayed for God's best and thanked Him for it.

She thanked me and cried.

I got in my car and cried.

God is doing a work in me. I don't have it all figured out. Not even close. But it is my heart to be used by God and to embrace all change that He has for me, and to do the things he has called me to do. I believe this is a very small step compared to what He has planned for me. But how can I be trusted in bigger things if I am not obedient in the small things? How can I listen and obey God when he tells me to do something that seems impossible if I cannot simply pray for someone that needs prayer?
