My phone broke this morning and I can't get it to a repair shop until Monday so I will be out of communication for at least the next couple of days. Pray that it is fixable; I really don't want to have to buy a new one!
So came the Facebook message from a missionary friend in Indonesia. I shuttered realizing how out of touch and discombobbled I'd feel if it happenened to me here in my comfortable, familiar environment.
I started to respond with something "spiritual", like "Aren't you glad communication with God is never broken?"
I deleted that when I remembered Psalm 66:18. Instead I sent a sad-faced emoji alongside praying hands. Then I did a heart-check and prayed for her.
It's a concept about prayer that I sometimes forget. I'm so thankful the Heavenly Father forgives my acknowledged and confessed sin. I'm thankful I don't have to wait until Mondays to experience restored communication!
I'm so grateful that God is always available to listen, when I have unbroken fellowship with Him! I'm thankful too, for the Holy Spirit who prompts me to deal with sin.
ReplyDeleteI hope your friend has their phone fixed by now!
