God is all up in this place!

Pastor Mike begins our prayer service with scripture and prayer; then we go to one of the sessions. John and I went to the pray through scripture session. There is always several different sessions in addition to the one we attended tonight: pray in the sanctuary with music playing, pray outside, pray with the Pastor, and pray in the quiet room. We come together again around 7:50 PM and sing a couple songs and join hands and pray a closing prayer. The theme for today was praying for the sick and the lost. Tonight was so special - I could feel God's loving arm around me during the closing. It was so awesome, I can't even explain it. The presence of God was so real you felt it without a doubt. We didn't want to leave. After the service, John Woodruff (one of my young friends) hugged me and said "the outdoor group lifted you up in our prayers tonight." How marvelous, how amazing, how loving that the group of younger people in our church prayed for me tonight by name. It brings tears to my eyes even now as I write this. There is nothing like the love of a family...
