a prayer as of late
Something I’ve been praying lately has completely changed my outlook toward others and life itself. I’ve been praying along the lines of something like this:
God, give me YOUR EYES to see the injustice, the hurting, the hopeless and the helpless around me. Give me YOUR Heart to love with. Give me YOUR MIND to think with. Let me be attentive to the One who already lives through me. I want to step into YOUR STORY and join whatever you’re already doing and whatever you want to do.
This may or may not be related to my recent prayer but a week ago Julie and I went to a local produce market to pick up some groceries. We ran into an elderly lady who was noticeably frail in her speech and in her walk. She asked if I could lift a bag of oranges into her cart. As I was assisting her–she went on to explain, “I just had a chemo treatment and I can’t do much.” I asked her if there was anything else I could help her with. She said, “No, my husband is waiting for me out in the car.” I hope that as I performed this act–Jesus radiated through me. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her or praying for her.

funny, I keep thinking about her too! I can’t believe her husband was in the car…so weird! Glad you were able to step in : 0 )
