Praying for Health and the Peace I Need 

I got a call last week from Anne, someone I used to work with years ago in California. This is her story:

Lately I had been praising God for all that He had planned for my life: Bringing me here to Texas to get married and starting a family, just what I had asked Him for when I was living in California.  The transition to another state was thankfully a smooth one. I met people at church from my hometown and I had discovered new gifts that I didn’t know I had. I was appreciative but it didn’t diminish the stress and worry I was carrying.

I was at the break point, so I said a prayer. It was for peace to my soul, health and to lower my anxiety. I have a lot on my plate as a wife and mother but lately the pressures have intensified. There has been some kind of problem with my lungs, sapping my energy and spirit.

I needed my health back and someone I could really talk to. This kind of communication is not my husband’s strong spot and he keeps busy, doing a great job to provide for us.

In just one day after my prayer, an old childhood friend on Facebook connected with me. We have so much in common. Our parents were good friends.  She is very spiritual and we understand each other. I haven’t spoken to her since we were 12!  We talked about San Francisco and the beach. Because of that conversation about California, I remembered the picture that I bought from you when we worked together there over 15 years ago.

When I took your picture out of the closet I thought of all the fun memories our team had at work and how you introduced me to art. I would drive home in those days and look at the reservoir, mountains and trees in a different way. To this day I see the beautiful colors in landscapes, flowers and nature. It was your words that did that for me.

I wished I had bought more or those pictures, so I looked you up on Google and sent you an email. We quickly made a time to call and had a great conversation, talking about those office days and bringing up forgotten memories. It was a light conversation with a lot of laughs.

We are about to hang up when you asked me point blank, “What do you need or wish for?” The question took me by surprise and I couldn’t speak at first, but I had now reconnected with a second, trusted friend that I could talk to. I was too emotional to make a sound at first, but got my composure back and answered truthfully. I want to be happy again. I want to be who I was before I had kids.

It was such a relief to just speak it. The questions that you asked were spot on and I was feeling more empowered and clear, just what I needed.

Afterwards, I told my daughter about some of the things you said about painting and that very night I had a dream. In my dream I went to an art store and began using the materials I got there. I was so happy!  Still in the dream, I drove down to a beach, spent a week collecting shells and driftwood, then drawing them.  It was so beautiful and peaceful. No worries, no hurrying, just joy.

What an amazing day! After talking with you and my childhood friend, I felt really good and it was reinforced by my peaceful dream that followed. In one day, the prayer for my soul’s peace, someone to talk to and a reduction in my anxiety was answered in a big way.

The next morning I actually went to the store and bought a pad of paper so I could use my pastels. I can’t wait to use them to just doodle with, nothing special.

I came back home with my art pad feeling so happy. There was no stress with the family that day, just peace. These recent events have shown me that is important to take a spring break on my own the first week in March. I’ll go to Florida and my husband can stay with the kids to reconnect with them. That’s my plan and I hope to  do it.

The concerns about my health continued, until just two days later, when my doctor’s office called with very good news. My tests from the week before showed some type of infection in the lung, not those darker possibilities I had feared. I have been lifted from serious concerns to a treatable infection.

When I hung up the call, I saw this screen saver on my phone:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power of Positivity

How incredible that once I prayed for help, I reconnected with just the people I needed to talk to the very next day. How could a childhood friend and a colleague 15 years in the past suddenly bring me what I needed?

Answers to my prayers don’t usually come so quickly and the clarity I received was more than when my therapist and I talk.

I felt great yesterday and I had lots if energy to get the house cleaned up. I’m cleaning closets, drawers, boxes etc. Today I’m going down to clean a dear friend’s house. She is such an inspiration to me. She has had an inoperable brain tumor for the past 12 years and 10 operations on broken bones etc. since I’ve known her.  She still has a smile on her face and is the most grateful person I know.

All of this has filled me with awe and gratitude.

It bears repeating, “Ask and you shall receive.”

Thank you for reconnecting and sharing your story with us. Just by asking, by praying, you brought in the help you wished for and it came in 24 hours. What a nice touch to have such a peaceful dream later that night, a week’s happiness and peace. Your gratitude is contagious too.

Nicely done. You are an inspiration!
Ken
