#10229 Wings Over The Mountains of Life
Overflowing
========
My daughter lives with me because she cannot afford her own
place. She is 25 and teaches autistic children in an elementary
school. Her job is emotionally and physically draining at times.
Friday she got up at 6 am to get ready for work. She plugged in
her electric rollers and turned on the tub for a bath, went to
set out her clothes and laid down for a second waiting for the
tub to fill.
She fell asleep. An hour later I awoke to hear her alarm going
off, I got up and our condo was flooded (and the two condos
below us).
I tell you I was afraid to open the door to her bathroom. I
envisioned her dead. How could she sleep through all the noise?
She was curled up on her bed asleep. I thanked God, and
immediately things were put into perspective.
Things could be so much worse (she could have been electrocuted
or drowned).
I am divorced, have three children and the youngest will be a
senior in college in September so as you can imagine, I am
financially strapped to begin with.
My prayer request is for strength and peace about this situation
for both myself and my daughter. She is so torn with guilt and
fragile right now.
Praise God, we have been members of a Christ-filled church for
over a year now. We both trust in the Lord for salvation and
deliverance. Our brothers and sisters in Christ have been so
supportive.
My prayer request is:
For strength to endure
Patience to wait on the Lord
(I know this is part of His plan for us)
Financial guidance (since I don't have the money to pay for the
damages without selling my home)
Emotional healing for my very precious daughter
(and that this will help her to grow in her very new faith)
Peace and strength for the two condo owners below me
(and that they may have compassion in dealing with us)
and
Thanks to the Lord for this opportunity to rely solely on Him.
The morning that this happened I got in my car to go to work
(I am a nurse), broke down and cried because I didn't want to
fall apart in front of my daughter.
As I prayed to God for help, I glanced over on the passenger's
seat and my Bible was on the seat.
I prayed for God to speak to me in my anguish and here's what I
read.
Praise the Lord! For He has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is
my strength, my shield from every danger. I trust in Him with
all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
Psalm 28:6-7
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
