Lately, I have discovered how much four little words can really mean: “You’re in our prayers.”
I have been so touched by the number of people who have told me that they have been praying for Bryan and me (I even had one of my friends tell me, “If I did pray, I’d pray for you). As I have reflected on this and what it actually means I am so deeply touched and am so thankful that there are people that care that much about me.
For me, the time that I spend in prayer with my Heavenly Father is one of my favorite times of the day. Its the time of the day that I have all to myself to express my emotions, feelings and thoughts to my Heavenly Father. I feel like it’s my personal and private time with Him, a loving Father who I know is listening. And just to know that people are taking time out of their personal and private time with their Heavenly Father to think about me and ask Him to help me.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I know that this is a part of prayer, to think of the other people and pray for them as well (I include other people in my prayers), but I had never thought about it in this way before and am so touched by the love this shows. I can’t really even express how much it feels and what it really means to me. I’m trying to express it, and as I read through it, it just doesn’t feel like I’m saying it right.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the prayers (or good thoughts, or hopes or whatever they may have been) you may have expressed in my behalf and let you know how much it truly means to me.
Thank you.
I know exactly what you mean. Exactly.
I love it when you read my mind and then write about it. :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate how open and real you are about the gospel. I certainly miss the apt. C 1 prayer time and scripture study with you, Bekah, Gnat, Ashlie and yes, Stargirl:) I will pray for you and keep you in my thoughts too, I hope that the hardships you and Bryan are going thru will be lightened.
