Change of Heart~

My mom was recently in the hospital for atrial fibrillation. Her heart was racing at 146 beats per minute.  She took a ride in the ambulance to the hospital to get some help.  In the emergency room a nurse administered some medication and mom waited for it to take effect.  She lay waiting while a few of her friends were there by her side.  In an instant, alarms sounded and freaked her friends out a bit, and in that instant, mom’s heart-rate went from 146 to 70.  Mom felt relief in that moment and knew that her heart had gone back into normal rhythm. 

Your heart can change in a moment!  Never stop praying.  Don’t give up on those you are praying for.  Whether they need to soften their heart to the Lord or open their ears to His call on their life, the change CAN happen.  God is able to accomplish what He desires.  “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever” (Ephesians 3:20-21).  I believe that God has everything planned for our lives as is states in Psalm 139 “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.  And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them” (vs16). I don't think He changes His plan, but I also believe that He wants the prayers of His children for all things and that that is a piece of the puzzle of everything planned before we are even substance.  Pray without ceasing. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).  Don’t give up.  Part of the will of God in Christ Jesus for you is praying without ceasing! We pray and trust Him to move in the way He chooses.
