My Hoosier Check

 

Hello, my friends, I want to share with you what a great and glorious God we have. This pic is from my prayer journal, and it has great meaning to me as I record my prayers, the events in my life and the many thoughts I have swirling in my mind. A few days ago, my sister and I were praying together. We claim the verse found in Matthew 18:19, it says "that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them". That day, I was feeling sad because it is such a struggle in terms of my finances. These days buying groceries seems like a luxury. So as my sister and I began lifting our prayers, she prayed for my struggles. Her words were something like this, "Lord please let LaDonna walk out to her mailbox today and let there be a check of some sort that could pull her out of her sadness." I tell you the truth that I went out to my mailbox that very same day and a check was there for me and one for Gabby! They were from the State of Indiana and the letter included with the checks explained that they had a surplus of funds that fiscal year and wanted to give back to us Hoosiers. MY MIND WAS BLOWN AWAY! So, of course, I praised God and promised to let those in my circle of influence know that our heavenly Father really does honor our prayers, especially when we agree with other believers.

It has become a daily habit of me (ok, almost every day), I like to create an “art” page along with an explanation in my journal that captures what God has done in my life. This artwork is my tribute to God and His unbelievable love for me. He heard my cry for help and rescued me. What are you feeling sad about today? Take that sadness to God and watch for a miracle. Also, who is someone in your life that you trust to pray with every day or every other day? Make a commitment with them to pray together every day, every other day, once a week. God's word doesn't put a time limit or other restrictions or requirements on your prayers. Just do it.

My sister lives in Arkansas so our daily prayer time is with a face time platform so we can easily pop online, armed with our coffee, in our pajamas and invite God to join us. It's so cool. Let me know in the comments or DM me if there is anything we can pray for. BUT don't just lean into me, get going on with your own little prayer group. I know that a year from today, if you do this, you are going to have a huge list of ways that God showed up and showed out. Loretta and I already have a huge list. I don't say this to brag, hear my heart, I share this journal entry to give you hope in this very dark world. Or maybe there is someone that you are close with that needs to hear this. Prayer works!
