The Flame Within

This afternoon driving home from an appointment, I was thinking and praying about the many stressors in my life recently.  As tears filled my eyes, I quietly prayed, “Lord, I need to hear from you.  Can you send me a word through a song?  I need to hear a word from you!”  Immediately after I prayed this prayer, I turned up “The Message” on the radio and Matt Redman’s “Help From Heaven” immediately started from the beginning.  Wow!  God really came through!  Take a moment to listen to this song, especially if your feeling overwhelmed and stressed in life.  There’s one thing I know for sure,  “Heaven is closer than we know!  In fact, Christ lives inside my heart!  He’s always there and ready to reach down and help his children!”  In a matter of minutes, the state of my heart changed from deeply overwhelmed to hopeful!

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him And saved him out of all his troubles.
