I came across a young woman (named Maria) outside of a local store today who was profusely crying and asking to borrow a phone. I had stopped and asked her what was wrong. She had told me that she was about to be evicted from her apartment, was with a man who had abused her, was addicted to drugs and someone had just stolen her phone while she was in the store. She explained how she was upset because she felt she had everything on her phone and now it was gone. I felt very strongly that the Lord had brought me to this woman because out of everyone on the planet, I'm one of the few who has a simple basic dumb-phone so I was of little help to her in getting her the numbers she needed. She was adamant that she didn't need money. So with nothing but the Gospel to give, I was able to share with her a bit about Jesus and she even allowed me to pray with her. While she wasn't a believer, I do believe God lead me to her today so that she may know Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I ask for your prayers for Maria, that she may repent of her sins and come to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

I chose to return to a dumb phone, so, there are at least two of us...I have prepaid as well. I hope the young lady finds some peace.

Aw, maybe the phone is meant to be like that so you could sit and pray for her instead of searching for numbers. :) Provided an opportunity perhaps.

Praying for you and her xx

Lord, thank you for Tryphena's sensitivity to your Spirit, and her willingness to obey Your prompting. How many of us would have kept on walking? Please bless Tryphena's obedience.

Lord, for Maria, oh Lord, this young lady needs You so badly. It sounds like she is in a terrible position - a place without hope. God, please enter her life and make her Your own. Please redeem her from the sin and destruction that seems to be taking over her life. Please turn her life around in all things - her eternal destiny, her relationships, and her circumstances in this life. Thank you for Your seed that got planted in her. Please send believers into her life to water that seed, and please reap a full harvest. Please protect this young woman from further tragedy, and Lord, please make her Your own beloved daughter. Amen.
