Late
Sunday night out internet went down. I thought the phones were still
working but when I tried to call Joan the next morning to let her know
what was happening, I realized they were out also.
But
that was okay because my husband and I have little tracphones and I
always carry mine in my pocketbook. I can't get reception from our
house with this phone but I had to go to the grocery store anyway and
had always been able to get a signal when I went into town.
But when I checked, my phone wasn't in my pocketbook. I prayed but was not able to find it. But that was okay too because my husband has one also.
As he was going to get his out of his jacket pocket, he was saying
things like he doubted that it was charged because he hadn't used it in a
long time and if it did have a charge it was probably not a full
charge...negative things.
Normally this would have troubled me but earlier that day, I had been meditating in the following scripture...Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. I Jn. 4:4. And,
as he was saying these things, I kept thinking about this scripture. I
believed that his phone would have a charge and I would be able to use
it.
And when he found it, it had a full charge. When I got into the Kroger's parking lot, I prayed
that I would be able to get a signal. At first I couldn't so I moved
to another part of the parking lot and then got a signal. I prayed that
Joan would answer the phone so I could talk with her instead of having
to leave a message. She answered the phone and we talked for quite a
while and the phone never went dead or caused a problem.
Before I left the house for the grocery story, I prayed about what to fix us for our meals for the next couple of days and God helped me with this. I prayed and asked Him to remind me of anything I might need to get at the store. Everything worked out just fine.
After
I got inside the store, I felt this sense of urgency telling me that I
had to hurry through the store and get back home. But I knew this was
irrational and turned to God with this and He calmed me so I could do shopping without feeling rushed.
This morning the internet and phones are working again. I
can say that by turning to God over and over yesterday when I was
troubled by something and talking to Him about it and focusing on what
He told me, that yesterday was a very calm and pleasant day for me.
