Lord use me.....even in my dark moments

Sometimes, you know those days when you get up in the morning and the whole universe seems to be against you.....do you have those moments?
I had one of those mornings yesterday.

I felt so discouraged and could not shake it. My internet and phone cable was literally ripped of the pole by a Garbage Truck and I could not continue with my work. Of course, it upset me. I should have known better that God was up to something. You see, when these moments in time happen, it is often because God wants to show off, flex His power muscle.

So He did for me yesterday: After running several errants, I ended up at the local library, feeling sorry for myself, as I came across 2 gentlemen. They were engaged in a loud conversation and it was obvious that one of them had been in emotional distress. Couldn't help to overhear some concerning statements and immediately shifted gear in my brain/spirit asking if all was ok, asking if I could help.
Both seemed open and I went for it. I just said: I also had a very bad morning and I felt bad, but let's do the only thing we can do. Go to God in prayer and ask Him for His help. Now, I had never seen these you young men and their response was: "yes let's pray."


I prayed honestly from the heart and it took a while. Afterward, the young man who had been emotionally distressed started to calm down and agreed with having to look to God for help. The other young man then made a profound statement: "I know you are not here by accident, I have just given myself to Christ again a few month ago and I am so happy that you have been here praying with us today. I know prayer works." At the end of the conversation, I referred them both to a local church and we went our ways.

I also felt completely peaceful again and was so happy to have had this ordained moment in time by God. This is how the church works. This is how the church is called to respond.

Out of my on darkness, He brought not only me to light again but these 2 strangers. What a wonderful day it had been.

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. John 7:38

Then , I ran into another German friend and she invited me for lunch, paying for  my scrumptious lunch. What a blessed day. Later on in the day, I had also been able to find solutions for some of the problems that I faced as well as the cable had been fixed.

God is so good and He is so clever and knows exactly what we need, when we need it. He is never early, He is never late, He is always on time.

My prayer today is: Father use us even in our dark times to bring Living Water of Christ to others and we in turn are refreshed also. Thank You for just being You, showing up in our lives in Power and Strength when we don't have any. May Your Grace abound in us, make us overflow with Your Love.

Farewell and good bye until next time.
