God hearts homeless people: Another prayer answered

I posted the prayer I prayed on my way home from last night’s NightWatch. One of my prayers was for “my friend who sleeps at Grace who’s moving into housing and who needs to be encouraged.” Today, he sent me an email and asked me to forward it to the director of the housing program.

The email begins like this:

“I guess it helped with Michele praying that things would go easier for me today, because everything went through like a breeze.”

Hear this, my friends: God is good. He answers prayers. In the past few days I have been so acutely aware of the overwhelming and all-consuming needs of my homeless friends and of my absolute inadequacy and insufficiency to meet those needs. And time after time after time, as I cried out, “Lord, I can’t do this, but I know You can,” He has answered right on time, He has made a way, He has shown His great love and faithfulness, He has glorified Himself, He has met the need.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!” — Psalm 27:13-14

I am undone. Thank you, LORD.
