superpowers

If you were a superhero, what would be your hidden superpower?

This is a "no brain-er" for me. My hidden superpower would be healing. I would heal all the physical and emotional hurts of everyone I love. And then the world. But my loved ones first.

My husband is scheduled for an out patient procedure today at the pain management doctor's office. Some shots in his neck and back to hopefully relieve some of his chronic pain. We have done these types of shots before with little success, but it's been a while, so we are trying again. Oh, how I wish I could magically remove his pain! To wipe out the last 20 years of doctors and surgeries and procedures that have caused only more pain. To eliminate the need for pills and shots and all the things that drag him down! That would be an amazing thing!

Do me a favor, say a prayer for my sweet hubby today. Pray that this procedure will help him. Pray for his body to be pain free. He is an incredible man. He doesn't see all that he is, how courageous and strong he really is. He can't see the man I love through the pain. Pray for him to see himself as I see him.

Prayer is our real superpower. I don't always understand it. Sometimes it seems that my prayers aren't being answered. But I know my Father hears the cries of my heart and that He is moved by them. The creator of all worlds listens to the smallest heartfelt cry of His children and answers. Maybe not in the way we want or think we need, but He always answers. Reaching the heart of God, if that isn't a superpower, then I don't know what is.

Healing and prayer

I have this friend, a beautiful, kind, witty woman who is full of faith in God and a blessing to everyone she knows. And she has cancer. Very aggressive, very deadly cancer. Recently her doctor gave her a prognosis that was not good.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think that doctors need to be honest. And that knowing the worst can help you to prepare, to consider what your legacy will be to the ones you leave behind. It can be a blessing that can help you reach out to those you love and find peace.

But I think it could also build a wall of fear and acceptance of a future that God may not have planned for you. Let me be really clear here....

I believe in healing. I believe that even today God is all powerful and a miracle working God. And I believe very strongly that we must ask for our miracles. We are called to ask, to speak our requests to our Father, to lay our burdens down and then claim our miracle. And keep claiming it over and over until we either receive it or receive a word in our spirit that guides us in a new direction. Because, let's face it, bad things happen to good people and sometimes the answer is no.

But until God speaks that "no" into our spirits, I believe we have an obligation to claim our "YES".

As to my friend, I got a text today that her numbers are improving, and I am praising God for his grace. And I will continue to lift her up every day until the answer comes. Because I am believing whole heartedly for a wildly enthusiastic YES!
