This story from Luke definitely hit home for me today. I just prayed yesterday with Pastor Drew for a part of my life that is "bleeding". To be perfectly honest, there are several areas in my life that are bleeding; patience for some issues with Brian, money management, my work life, etc. I said a prayer this evening for all of these "bleeding" items. I have trouble surrendering control sometimes to the Lord, but this is one of those times when I really need to release it all to Him. Not only that, I need to be there to teach Brian to reach out to God as well.
I have made the decision to discuss with Brian his need for our Savior and Lord. The scripture in our Faith and Sharing book is definitely one that I will use when we have our conversation. Romans 10:14 is the perfect verse to share with him during this discussion. We have talked about it previously, but the conversations have always been "superficial" We haven't had an in depth, full discussion about my feelings about him needing to seek the Lord. I am going to the "Women of Joy" conference this weekend and that will give me 3 wonderful, faith filled days to think and contemplate this conversation. Then, I will be ready for our conversation when it happens.
"Heavenly Father, give me the strength and wisdom to be a positive and educational disciple to my husband. That is one of the biggest parts of my life that I feel is "bleeding" right now and I need to grab hold of your hem and not release it, but allow myself to be dragged along with you during this difficult time. Please place the correct words in my mouth and the warmest feelings in my heart during our conversation. Please speak to Brian and allow him to reflect upon his feelings and open his heart to your love for him. In your heavenly name......Amen"
