#18 NEXT Mother's Prayers Index |
I was going through a really tough period in my life. I had recently been abandoned financially and in every other way it seemed. All of sudden I had children to support on my own. We were living in a studio my cousin had provided for us. She had told me that I needed to find another place for me and my kids. She was the manager, but the property was going to have new owners, and she wasn't certain she would have a job anymore. I was waitressing. I had never received assistance of any kind in my life as a mother. I didn't even know where to begin to find help. I didn't make enough to rent a place much less feed my family.  One night I remember
praying and crying really hard. I felt at such great loss to know what to
do, how to provide for my children, how to keep us going. I felt so alone
and afraid. I fell asleep crying and had a dream. In my dream I was on a
raft, and I jumped onto a rock. I was still crying, but then I heard a voice
and looked up. This voice was from Jesus. He asked me, "Why are you crying
so?" I Looked up at him and said, "Don't you see what is happening to me?"
He then replied, "Don't you know I am walking with you?" I had quit crying
by now and when I woke up, I thought, how could I have had such little faith?
I had talked and talked to other people about near-death experiences and
about the love that Jesus and the Heavenly Father have for us. Yet in a
time of great adversity, I realized my own faith was weak.Shortly after
that dream, one of the people I had called about a particular apartment
called to tell me that I could have it rent free for awhile. Prayer works,
and Jesus loves all of us so.Kathy - Unknown |
