Pray For Him
Hurricane Ike had just hit. There was no damage to me but it was during this time that I had a problem with a friend. Some of the things said were really agrivating me. One night I sat thinking to myself about how the next time he is in my truck and does this, I will drive way out in the country and dump him. Make him walk. That will show him.
Then I heard from God.
Why don't you pray for him?
hmmm...
After a little thought I was thinking yeah, the next time we are in Denneys or somewhere and he spouts off I will bow my head and pray for him right then and there. That will show him and hopefully make him feel bad.
I heard from God again...
Why not pray for him now?
Awww, cmon God. Thats no good but with a little thought knew God was right. I prayed for my friend right then and there with the thought of repeating this in public the next time he spouts off.
The next time we went to eat I anxiously waited his criticisms. Even tried to provoke them a time or two but he wouldn't take the bait. Finally he said, I've been feeling some convictions.
The matter was solved, not in the vengeful way I wanted but in a way that is good for everyone concerned.
Thank you God.
