This past Thursday I had a headache the whole day, it was as if the right side of my head was pressured by something. Steve prayed for me that night before going to sleep and it got slightly better. However, the headache didn't go away the whole night and I didn't sleep well. I woke up still with the same headache on Friday morning. Sometime during the morning I was in the middle of doing something and I couldn't handle the headache anymore! I laid my hand on my head and neck and prayed for God's healing. I wasn't healed right then so I went back to do what I was doing. Without thinking about it, in about half an hour I realized that my headache was gone completely!! Thank You Lord for healing my headache!!! :)

PRAYER
I stand on the soft sand
amidst hundreds of footprints
going in chaotic directions
ugly 'scars' left from boisterous play
ruins from a castle
fortified with deep trenches
waiting for the sea...
A wave breaks close enough
to push water into the outer furrows...
the harshness of the edges
soften under the watery onslaught
again
again
again...
the footprints disappear
holes and trenches fill up
the surface flattens out
into stretches of shiny
peace...
A strange quietness
descends on me...
this is Your hand
this is You!
this is restoration
made visible
this is the work of
persistent
patient
abundant
LOVE!
I sit down in wonder
allowing
revelation to
sink like water
into the sand of my soul...
Hesitantly
I reach down,
carefully exposing
only a tiny, painful part
...spreading out
the chaotic footprints
scars and furrow-wounds
to the immensity
of many waters
waiting...
waiting for the tide
to rise...
Comfort becomes a gentle mist
surrounding and isolating me
to the private session
with the sea
as it reaches
the first scars,
touching, retreating
reaching out further
retreating...
as if waiting for my consent!
Wave after wave
persistently pushing further
gently covering more
lovingly remoulding...
Pure love
washing over
memories of pain,
memories of shame
love eroding
love restoring
love creating
unique new patterns
in the sand
leaving unspoilt peace!...peace!
This sea I can trust
to this I can surrender!
As oppression and turmoil
melt into relief
I reach deeper down
into my heart
with newfound confidence!
Have my whole coastline, Lord!
I surrender to the power
of Your love
watching in wonder
as You patiently
restore
all
of me
to innocence
and purity...
dazzlingly
reflecting the beauty
of the Son!
