Below is an email that my friend Stephanie sent me several days before I left the states for London. I read it several times on my flight and continue to read and meditate on it since my arrival. The Word tells us in John 5:17 "The prayer of a righteous (wo) man is powerful and effective. "
Everybody bow your head for prayer....
"Lord, I just ask that you cover your servant, Donna, with your blood as she travels tomorrow to London. We don't know why you have decided to send her there, but we know that there will be a mighty move of God on her life and the lives of people around her. By going to London, she has chosen to step out on faith, despite the frustration and homesickness. I pray that you continue to guide her life with a good Word daily. Wake her up every morning, allowing her to know that she is blessed to be in a new place, touching lives in London and being touched by the many Christians she will come to meet and encounter on her Sundays in church. There is a reason you have chosen for your vessel to leave her comfort zone to travel to the unknown. We know it is her job sending her there, but we also know that you are sending her there to fulfill whatever purpose that is set for her to fulfill without her or us even knowing how great that purpose is! Do not allow her to be anxious or frustrated, but allow your strength to rest and abide in her at all times, especially when it feels so tough for her to be away from home. Lord, 4 months are going to fly like 4 weeks, 4 days, 4 minutes, 4 seconds. Allow her to cherish the time that she has there in England and also to know and trust in you Lord that she will have a safe homecoming. I thank you Lord God for allowing Donna to be a good friend to us all and I pray that in these 4 months, we do remember to take a second to email Donna to make she is ok. We love you Lord, we honor you Lord, and we give you all the praise and glory. In Jesus' precious name, Amen!!"
Take a minute to mediate on these scriptures: Exodus 15:2, Psalm 28, Psalm 139, and
Philippians 4:4-9,
