There have been a few profound personal issues that have surfaced recently in my life. I am not going to go into them, but will say that if it weren't for some good friends, things wouldn't be going as smoothly as they are.
One of my friends was going to a local Prayer Room to pray for directions on an issue that has been bothering her and invited me to come along.
I am so glad I went.
When I arrived, it was like a physicians office. They ask you to fill out a questionnaire with your name so that if you ever come back, there's a file.
You sit in a waiting area, except there's relaxing music playing, the lights are softer and there's so many pamphlets to read.
When you go in for your turn, about three people sit down and talk to you to see how you are doing. They find out what you need prayer for and then they ask you if it's okay if they pray for you. And then we all pray.
It was a wonderful experience. I felt like I actually mattered and the people genuinely took the time to ensure I was alright. I felt like I was floating a bit, and had a definite sense of peace.
In the prayer, the people who were praying for me, also wished for a sense of joy to come back into my life. Apparently to experience joy is a great strength to have. After the prayer, my friend and I went out for coffee to discuss what had just happened. We had a good chat and laughed together over so many things. It was a nice evening and I am glad I experienced something new.
I would go back to this Prayer Room again, especially if these personal issues keep persisting.
Thank-you for reading
