I’m so glad now that I sent out a prayer request. It is easy when you are on another continent to feel like you are battling alone, without your usual friends by your side fighting. I was reminded though, after sending that email, that I am not battling the social issues and personal struggles alone. Last week, after returning from talking to people on the streets, the leader of our group said that even if we didn’t feel there was a difference in the people after talking to them, our presence among them was making a powerful difference in the spiritual world. I felt the same tonight, that there are so many people that are thinking of and praying for us.
We had a very restoring weekend. Our sleep was better. On our day off we went to a museum and to a bookstore for dinner. Today we had breakfast and worked at the Reborn House. We gardened (therapeutic!) and then enjoyed a BBQ with the staff, staying two hours later than we planned, simply because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Thank you, thank you. Know that every positive thought and prayer are truly invaluable to me.
It is easy to forget, or in the very least underestimate, the impact that this has on my life and in the grand scheme of life here. But prayer is definitely our most powerful tool for change, as we can change very little on our own. We happened to read this verse in class today...
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:4
