I look back over the past 5 1/2 months and think, how have I made it? How do I feel the peace that surpasses all understanding? How do I not bury my head in my pillow and never get up? How do I not give up on this life and any hope for a happy future? How do I reassure Brenna that everything is going to be ok?
Do you know how I do it?
Somebody is praying for me.
A sweet friend sent me this song a few weeks ago. I have never heard it before but when I listened to it online, I cried. This is exactly how I do what I do every day. I get comments and emails daily about how strong I am. It is not my strength. It is the strength my Jesus gives me. He carries me when I cannot carry myself.
My Jesus. The only way.
Oh how I have been covered in prayer for these many months. There is nothing else that can explain the comfort, peace, and hope for the future than my Jesus' provides. I am so so grateful for the many prayer warriors out there that lift us up daily. I am humbled by the emails, comments, texts, and calls from friends saying they are praying for us. Oh how thankful I am.
I feel the prayers! I continue to need them.
Read these lyrics.
Who are you praying for?
So dry and thirsty
But God was there where He’d always been
Giving grace and mercy
So hard to sing and hard to pray
Yet I knew His Word was true
And then one day my faith returned
And suddenly I knew
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord
I knew it had to be
Somebody down on their knees
Somebody praying for me
I’ve been spared by so many prayers
How many times I could not say
What a difference a prayer can make
When it’s offered up in faith
God has always made a way
When I didn’t know what to do
Just when I needed a miracle
That’s when your prayers broke through
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord
Well I knew it had to be
Somebody down on their knees
Somebody praying for me
Now I know that friend was you
You were the gift God gave me
’Cuz when you prayed His love broke through
It was your prayer that saved me
Thank you for praying for me
Thank you for knocking on Heaven’s door
Thank you for praying for me
Thank you for lifting me up to the Lord
Now I can clearly see
That you were the one on your knees
So thank you for praying for me
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord
Well I knew it had to be
Somebody down on their knees
Somebody praying for me
