I remember a time, traveling with my sister and I guess she was feeling a bit doubtful, so she asked me if I believed in prayer. We had been visiting our brother who was gravely ill, she had been praying but things seemed to get worse. I told her that we needed to be very specific when we talk to God, because we do not speak the same language. If we ask for one thing, He may give a few contrary things that lead to what we asked for.
When my brother was first hospitalized, it was serious but not grave. But in order to answer her prayer, God bought on a far worse condition, that shed light on underlying issues and improper dosages of medications prescribed , in the past.Doctors were ordained to bring about complete healing but we had to endure the storm first.
Well, I said all that to say this, when I decided that I had had enough of drinking I had one of those talks with God and said “I don’t want to die like this”,meaning drunk or hungover. Was that prophetic, I don’t know but shortly after getting sober, the world imploded with the Covid 19 Pandemic. What a time to get sober…Pandemic or not, I am grateful for each sober day.
Be blessed and safe.
