π Words of Faith Friday Wk5.
2 Timothy 2:25
"Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will learn the truth"
In 2023 I was saved, and accepted Jesus into my life, heart, soul and body, at a children's revival of all the places (I'll share that story more one day).
But I came home to my husband that evening with the biggest weight off my shoulder, and when I told my husband what happened and as we talked about my salvation the days after, he disclosed to me a prayer he had been praying for the years prior. His prayer for me was this "I pray that Samantha comes to know Jesus in a safe and healthy way". And to this day he/we pray this over people we know that aren't saved, or aren't living for Christ. Because often times you hear stories of people giving their life to Christ after some hardship, or some extremely awful experience, but Seth didn't want that for me.. he knows my story and knows I have experienced plenty of awful things in my life, but to know and love God he wanted it to be good. Because as believers we know God is good. And so did God, as he saved me at a Children's revival on a Saturday night..
So instead of just praying for people's salvation and to come to know Jesus is the way, life and truth, be specific in how you pray. Pray for a peaceful coming, pray for a healthy and safe experience. God is in control, but that doesn't mean you can't speak good things into your prayers. He listens.
Have a good weekend. π€
