How God Cares for us Daily

The other day I was getting ready and while curling my hair I felt convicted to pray for our friends Dave and Melissa. I didn't really know why, but I decided I should take a minute and do so. A while later I was doing my devotional and I thought, I need to pray again so I did. After I did I decided to text Melissa and let her know God put her and Dave on my heart and that I was praying for them even if nothing was going on. She called me back immediately and said "Thank you so much for praying!" I asked her what was going on and she said they had had a terrible morning (it was only 11 when she called). The night before their computer got a virus and died, none of them had slept well, Dave woke up sick and puking, Melissa and Ellianna were tired and grumpy and Ellianna was being a challenging two year old. This was all before they left the house. As Melissa was driving to drop off Ellianna at a babysitter, who was the forth person she had called to babysit and all others were sick, she had a problem with her car. She was driving 65 miles an hour and a large protective cover on the underside of the car fell down, but was still connected to one corner and was dragging on the road. Long story short, she went home fixed it and made it into town to work late and then almost locked her keys in the car. She was in surprisingly good spirits after beating up the car a little. I had no idea any of that was going on, but I knew she needed to know God was caring for her and her family. This was just a great example of how God can tell us he is there and watching out for us when we need it. So the moral of the story is FOLLOW YOUR GUT, because it is really God whispering to you. Praise be to God!

Ha! I always wonder what's going on with someone when I do have that little nudge to pray for someone. It's a good reminder to do what God asks when He asks!!
