Prayer works

Throughout my life I’ve experienced nightmares.

Without giving too much description, the dreams are demonic.

This morning I awoke from one, but it was unlike any I’ve ever had.

Although the dream was demonic, I was completely calm throughout.

Normally, I am afraid, angry, full of grief, or a mixture of these emotions.

Not this morning.

Upon waking, I asked the Lord why this was so different.

Your husband was praying.

My husband had gotten up early and was downstairs in prayer.

His time with the Lord covered me from the attack.

Just before he left for work I told him about it and thanked him for it.

I also thanked God for my husband and his prayers.

James 5:16 KJV — Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

God’s Word is true.

1 Peter 1:3-7NKJV — Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

We can and should put His Word into practice in our lives, because we may not see how God is working, but we can always trust that He is.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for Your Word. Thank You for the prayers of my husband. Lord, thank You for showing me another example of Your beautiful truth applied. Lord, You are faithful, good, and trust worthy. Thank You for showing us so much love and kindness. Please continue to reach those who have yet to know You and grow those who do. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
