When Fear Comes Knocking…

If you asked most of my friends you would find that I tend to be a "standing in the gap" person.  I enjoy praying for others and feel it an honor to do so.

This year, however, we’ve had a broken arm, a broken foot, a broken toe, more "abnormal cells" to be removed from my skin, and then yesterday an ultrasound that showed polyps and a cyst in my uterus and left ovary.

And as I left the doctor, fear came knocking.  I could feel Satan’s talons trying hard to get a grip on my heart and fill it with fear.  It was a physical feeling. 

It’s an unusual feeling for me.  But as I got home and began to call friends to ask them to pray I realized this was a time I needed people standing in the gap for me.  It was my turn to "need people"…..to need intercessory prayer. 

I have felt the prayers of the saints, my friends lifting me up to the Father.  And I am so thankful when I can’t pray for myself Jesus and others pray for me. 

And now my kids are begging for breakfast and help with school.  So I must go.

Pray if you feel led.
Always in HIS grip………
