Intercessory Prayer

I experienced first hand the power of intercessory prayer. This week I had one lady tell me that while she was praying for me she had intense anger. I told her, “thank you, you took my anger so I wouldn’t have to”. Another one of my friends in North Carolina had an unexplainable fear of hospitals and what could happen to us there. I said, “thank you , I didn’t have any fear at all". My friend’s husband (they live in Arizona) called me on Friday night before the birth. It was hard for him to speak because he had so much sorrow. He left me a message and I know that he was carrying the sorrow for me. God prepared me for what I thought would be a horrible thing and He made it into a beautiful, glorious thing. I guess that’s what He does. Saturday morning, at home, I felt His presence, I knew He was there in the room with me as He comforted me. I knew I had the peace and the strength , from God, to give this daughter of ours the special birth that I, as her mom, wanted her to have.
