Isaiah 43:16-19
16 This is what the LORD says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,
17 who drew out the chariots and horses,
the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
18 “Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
I have prayed and prayed, for 3 years. I admit that there were times that I felt it was in vain, but God wouldn’t let me quit. You may be wondering what it is that I’ve been praying for, all I can say is that it is for someone very close to my heart.
Recently I noticed very positive signs that my prayers are being transformed into a miracle. Yet after some disheartening disappointments in the past I was afraid to get excited.
Yesterday I had a long conversation with the person and I couldn’t but be excited. Praise the Lord my miracle has arrived! And to crown the miracle, God gave me the message in Isaiah 43:16-19 as confirmation and a promise that all is well from here onwards.
God hears our prayers and cries to Him. Persistent prayer is rewarded. I thank you Lord, when I felt alone You were my company, when I fell you picked me up, when I cried you dried my tears. O Lord I praise you, and I thank you, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
