Back from My Roots

One trip down...two to go.

Like my mom said last night, India is becoming more real because the other major trip I planned this summer (being in Indiana) is done. One of the issues our group prayed about this week (in fact, it was yesterday) is that God would calm our anxieties, worries, and illnesses. I had not felt anxious about the trip until the past two or three days in Indiana. So, I continue to pray for those to subside - they mainly have to do with what I will be able to do for the group and whether I will be able to do it.

Today, our group prayed as a unit that we would not underestimate what God can do through us. Funny how that works out, right? Also quite incoincidentally, I read in Acts 3 today about how Peter healed a man who had been lame for many years in Jesus' name. He spoke to people who saw or heard it occur and were in disbelief for the second chapter, or major miracle, in a row.

"And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all."

"Lord, use us to speak Your name and the healing that comes with it into many people's lives on our journey. Your name is more powerful than we can imagine. Don't allow us to put Your power in a box. In Jesus' name, Amen."
