Monday October 10, 2016 was Canada's Thanksgiving Day. The previous day, some of Jim's family had come over for a thanksgiving meal (lunch). On Monday though, I decided to go for a drive. I felt like the Holy Spirit was prompting me to do so, and I love driving. I didn't know where I was going, but I just drove and turned where He told me to turn. I got to spend nearly the entire time praying and worshiping. I have a stack of prayer cards that exceeds 170 prayer requests and I got to go through them and pray for them. For each request I spend anywhere from 1-5 or 10 minutes praying, just depending how the Spirit leads me. I first pray for the specific request in english, then I spend a good portion of the time praying in Spirit for them and their request. I was blessed to have plenty of time to pray alone with God. I was on the road for more than 4 hours, and I drove more than 200 miles. It was a blast and I truly had a ton of fun!
The next day I did something similar on the way home from church. Except I only drove 70-100 miles. The time I have alone with God to pray for others is a HUGE blessing. I find rest in it, I find hope in it and I find joy in it. I've been hearing tons of prayer requests and I am starting to hear tons of praise reports! Here is an example that just..... just..... GOD! Someone asked me to pray that they could sell something that was going to be really hard to sell. As I was praying, the Spirit spoke through me praying that the thing would be sold that day. Later when I asked this person, they told me that that day someone had randomly came up and asked if they could look at the item (when they guy wasn't even trying to sell it yet) and they bought the item the next day! Praise and Glory to God! Only God!
