God IS Our Refuge and Strength

This week, I had to undergo a medical procedure about which I had heard frightening stories. I became quite anxious (to say the least) as soon as the procedure was scheduled. The amazing thing was that once I asked Christian friends to pray for me, I was overtaken by an amazing peace! I also remembered some scriptures such as the one today from Psalm 46 and John 14:27:  "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."  I am very pleased to say that the procedure was much less painful and involved than the stories I had heard! Praise God!

Over the last few years, a number of friends have told me that they could feel the prayers of others during challenging times in their lives. That's what I can say about this time for me: I could literally feel the prayers of others! I praise God for hearing our prayers and being Present with us!

Do you have a story to share about experiencing God's Promise that He is our Refuge and Strength?
