Lunch: I Still Believe...

...in Your faithfulness

Sometimes, it becomes difficult to believe that God is near. Right now, I don't feel that way, but it might be what you are thinking. If so, I don't have any quick fixes or easy answers. However, I do ask that you would still believe. Don't give up on God because He has not answered your prayers the way you would like for Him to.

I felt God was very near to me last May. I felt that He was calling me not only to pray for Adam's healing, but to encourage others to do the same. I was quick to "sign on" and obey the calling. Little did I know, that six months later, I would still be posting to this blog. Back in May, I had no idea that, nearly half a year later, I would be waiting for Adam to speak his first words.

I still believe.

When I called for a day of fasting and prayer, last May 19th, I had no idea that I would still be skipping meals in November.

I still believe.

Interesting things have happened over the past six months. People of faith, who do not know Adam, have had visions of his healing. Independently, two individualls have stated that he will be healed, but that it will be a "long time."

I still believe.

One of the individuals with two separate visions spoke of a ministry that would be created as a result of Adam's healing, and exhorted us to keep praying for his healing.

I still believe.

Then, when Adam's progress seemed nonexistent, he was accepted to Spaulding Rehab Hospital. I was (and am) encouraged by Spaldings' claim that "Remarkable recoveries happen every day at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. Our dedicated team of specialists help patients get back in action as soon as possible - often with astonishing results."

I still believe.

Then, I watched the Jason Crigler video

I still believe.

Amy reported new developments in Adam's progress.

I still believe.

Last week, Adam suffered a setback.

I still believe.

Regardless of what happens today, tomorrow, or next week, I still believe.

What do I believe in?

God's faithfulness.

Psalm 89:7-8

  In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared;

he is more awesome than all who surround him.

  Who is like you, LORD God Almighty?

You, LORD, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

Pray for belief. Pray it for Amy and Mackenzie. Pray it for Adam's parents — Jack and Cookie. Pray it for Adam's brothers — Ben, Brad, and Tristan. Pray it for all who are close to Adam. Pray it for each other — all of us who are united in fasting and prayer, today.

Talk to you at dinner time.
