The more I pray, the more I find myself in the flow of God’s work to help people

I realized that the more I pray and talk with God, the more I am in flow with the leading of God whether consciously or subconsciously.

In one particular case, God impressed in my heart to take note of a friend’s holiday trip a month later. I marked it down on my calendar and did drop him a message to wish him a great holiday a day before he took off. However I did not expect his reply was he was not going anymore. He was experiencing some relationship difficulties which made me sad. Nonetheless, God created this opportunity for me to help him.

In a second case, God woke me up earlier to pray. I was reluctant to wake up but I yielded to Him. Not know what to pray about, I stayed to pray in tongues in a giddy state of mind.

Romans 8:26-27, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us[a] with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”

Just as I prayed, God impressed in my heart to give my friend a certain verse from the bible. I thought the Word was quite harsh and was afraid that he might be offended. Nevertheless, I messaged him and went back to catch 30 minutes more of sleep before I need to wake up again. Later part of the day, my friend called me to explain he was shocked by my message and why did he felt so. God has spoken into my friend and wanted to lead him back to His ways.

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be used by Him in this manner.
