Phone Prayer

I've been working hard trying to catch up on all my work and assignments since I've returned home from Costa Rica (which by the way, was an amazing trip). Of course, when you're trying to catch up on a lot of work, everything just seems a blur. Time is valuable.

Then - a phone call.

"Hello, my name is Heather from GBIM (Grace Brethren International Missions). May I speak to Mr. Yim?"

We talk, and I find out that they're calling to thank me for supporting one of their missionaries. - I'm already thinking - Wow. They're actually calling every donor to personally say thank you.

They then asked if I wanted to be put on their list-serve to be informed about how God is working throughout the world in the mission fields and how I could pray for them. I politely turned them down and expected to hang up and get back to work.

Then.

"Well Mr. Yim, before I go. Is there anything I can pray for you about?"

I was kind of surprised. So I didn't know what to say except, "I can't think of anything right now, but thank you so much." Well - that was nice.

Then...

"Well Mr. Yim. Can I pray for you over the phone right now? Even though it's general, I'd love to share a moment with you and God. I'd love to pray for you."

And she prayed.


Some stranger from far away prayed for me over the telephone. My blurred day became clear.
What a way to remind me about God's love. :-)
