Thank God for Praying Friends

 

The past couple weeks have been very hard for my daughter.  She has been anxious and depressed and even tearful at work.  Even an increase in her anxiety medication didn’t seem to help.  There have been many prayers lifted in her behalf.  But I have been amazed by all the calls and emails and cards of encouragement that she has received, mostly from her church friends. 

    But last night blew us away!  One of her church friends invited her to go out for supper — but Sara didn’t know that a whole crowd of her friends would be there.  Not only were the tables full, but several brought cards and gifts of encouragement — even Reese Cups, her favorite.  She had the biggest smile we have seen in several weeks.

     After the meal, we went outside the restaurant and each lady prayed for Sara and for our church — prayer meeting on the sidewalk!  It lifted Sara’s spirits so much!  She said it was the BEST day — she really felt the love from all those precious ladies. 

     It was such a blessing to this momma’s heart to hear all those prayers for my sweet daughter.  She is much better — no more tears this week — and we are both so thankful for praying friends.
