Lifted up by Prayers

It has been very humbling to have so many people say that they were praying for me during my recent illness with COVID. I had to go into quarantine in the midst of a very busy trip to Zimbabwe. I went from full steam ahead to full stop. Besides that, I felt miserable with a terrible headache, bad cough, and a burning in all of my mucous membranes. I tried to post and keep folks updated. 

I also wanted to share my faith and the peace that the Lord was near to me during a difficult trial. Part of that, I realized in those moments, those faith filled, peace filled moments, how many people were sincerely praying for me, and praying consistently and at different times. It is amazing to be uplifted in prayer like that. 

One person told me that they were praying for me just at the time that I realized I was probably standing in a line in a shabby little clinic waiting to get the results of my COVID test at the end of my two week quarantine. The results would determine if I could do a couple of things that I really felt were important. I felt very vulnerable and lonely and nervous in that moment, but to realize that I was being lifted up by prayer really touched me. Thank you! 

I believe it is one of the nicest and most loving things you can do, to pray for someone.
