Visiting in the Hospital

This Monday as I was reflecting on the words of God and spending time in His presence in my corner of the office, Ron came in. He came with a bad news that the father of a friend of ours is in Intensive Care Unit(ICU) and requires a miracle so he came to look for me to pray. What timing eh? But what timing too when I'm going to Tekong the next day. But of course being out in the field is not going to change the fact that I can still seek Him and pray. Afterall where better to pray than in the wilderness?

Then when I came back on Thursday night, Ron brought up that our friend is keen on having us visit and to pray for his dad. Praise God for his receptiveness. Thank God that Paul have already offered to go with me on Monday night. So we planned and arranged for us to go.

So we went yesterday =) My 1st hospital visitation to pray. (next time I'll pray whenever I go) We got there to find out that just yesterday, the sister, a fellow sister in Christ, have gotten a pastor down and the father had readily accepted the Lord as his personal Savior. With that we went and allowed him to pour out his concern and his heart. After which we prayed. Paul went 1st in English, being too humble to use Chinese and I translated and prayed using Chinese to the best of my knowledge. He received the prayer and blessings readily and cheerfully which was a great bonus. Then we subsequently joined Aunty who was taking care of Lynette, the grand daughter. We got to hear their frustrations and fears and I thought it good that we should pray but Paul being the wiser did not follow up on my suggestion and so I took his cues. Later he explained that Aunty is stressed and that it was not as appropriate. So I learn.

THANKS Paul for your guidance and you company. Even as you said my prayer was beautiful and presence are probably what touched them the most, I want you to know that your presence there and your guidance have given me the courage and have touched me the most. =) What an ENCOURAGER. You should so adopt Barnabas as your 3rd name after Elisha. =D

So Father I thank you for the opportunity to use me and at the same time blessing me with such a great friend to guide and help me. A truly wonderful experience. Lord I truly hope you could show them who you are in the midst of their troubles and cause the whole household to trust in your Name and they will call upon your name, Your beautiful name ... JESUS!
