My both kidneys failed at 31.
I went through Dialysis three times a week. I was dying slowly.
They put me on the transplant list and said I might not last. One night after dialysis I could not stand the pain. I shouted to God until I had no voice left:
The next test before transplant showed my kidneys working again.
No dialysis since. It's been four years and they still work.
The specialist said he had never seen such a thing.
I gave the rest of my life to God.
I found a prayer in Isaiah 45:2–3 this morning. Lord, go before me into places I cannot enter by myself. Straighten what has been difficult, break through what has stood in my way, and make a way where I cannot yet see one. For the things concerning my life that I have no idea how to solve, I ask You to handle what is beyond my reach. Open doors I cannot open. Bring the right people into my path. Give me access to what You have prepared for me, even in places I never thought to look.
And when You begin to do these things, help me recognize that it was You. Let me not become so focused on the method that I miss the miracle.
Up and grateful, God is faithful.
As we end the month of August, may September bring forth blessings, opportunities and favours to us.
Good morning friends.
I found a prayer in Habakkuk 2:3 this morning...
Lord, for the things You have shown me that have not happened yet, teach me how to wait without losing heart. When the vision takes longer than I expected, keep me from assuming You have forgotten me. When I cannot see movement, keep me from creating movement out of panic. Give me the discernment to know the difference between a promise that needs my obedience and a promise that simply needs my patience.
When everyone around me seems to be moving ahead and my own life feels suspended, keep me from measuring Your faithfulness by somebody else’s timeline. Let me remember that something can be taking longer without being denied. And when I am tempted to walk away because I have waited longer than I thought I would, remind me that “though it linger, wait for it.” Lord, teach me to wait without turning the waiting into evidence that You are not working.
Somebody said, “One thing I love about God is, He'll bring you out of situations you got yourself into; and still not hold it against you”.
And I felt that!
