Yesterday, I had been anxious and worried about things. I noticed a women at the bus stop and felt like the Lord told me to get outside myself and pray for her. As I left work, I started to walk down the sidewalk towards the bus stop. Feeling very intimidated, I decided to veer off and go to my car instead. Then after sitting in my car for a minute, I mustered up the courage to go pray for her. Walked back down the sidewalk. "Hello. God's been challenging me to step out and pray for people and I wondered if there was any way I could pray for you today?" She smiled and said "Oh, you're fine! I have a bus pass." I said, "Okay! Well have a blessed day!" and quickly walked back to my car and drove off. Haha. Maybe she thought I said "pay" for you? I don't know, but I will say that I felt less anxious about the things I had been worrying about before I got outside of myself. Thanks God. Invigorating and totally awkward.
Haha I totally relate. Sometimes I feel like those times are more about ME getting outside my head than actually having an impact on someone else ;-)
