Power of Prayer

I love the series Amanda has started on prayer and healing.  I enjoyed it a lot and believe I saw it in action this morning.  I woke up around 6:30 with stomach pains.  Believe me, I don’t wake up that early for much else.  I felt hot like a fever might be coming on, I felt nauseous so much I curled up into a ball and I was even starting to have some gas pains.  I was convinced I was getting what Scott had. I even rolled over and squinted at my iPhone while I looked up to see if Traveler’s Diarrhea was contagious.  I got up and took a sip of Gatorade from the fridge hoping that would calm my stomach but it didn’t.  Back in bed, Scott rolled over and looked at me and I even said “I’m sick.  I think I have what you had.”  In my head, I started making plans on calling someone to take the kids to school.  Scott would have to get up early and take Lexi to the dentist.  I was trying to figure out how I’d could get some medicine without going to the dr.  I was convinced I’d be out for a couple days.  But I remembered Amanda’s post about how God likes for us to ask and I begged God to take away whatever it was. I didn’t want to feel that kind of pain and if He would just have mercy on me and take it away.  If He would just take it, I’d even blog about how God still heals.  Yes, I was bargaining with God.  I think I prayed myself back to sleep.  And I woke up completely fine.  I got up and got the girls ready for school.  Took them and now I’m back typing this.  I have no idea what I had but I do know I was some sort of sick and now I’m not.  So THANK YOU, JESUS.
