I got to pray with a friend in class

[2LivIsChrist]

Ok last night i was sleeping over at my friends house. And she was telling me that tomorrow (which is today) i should ask a non christian if i could pray for them. Well i was thinking in my head, how could i just randomly do that, with out the opportunity? She told me that we have to step out in faith and trust God. Well anyways, this morning as soon as i went to my first period class, my non christian friend was telling me about all the bad things that have been happening in her life latley. Her eyes were red and puffy because she had just finished crying. I didn't know what to do, but just listen. Then i thought about what my friend said the night before, about praying with a non christian. I was not sure if it was of God, so i pushed the thought a side. Yet the tought kept coming back, and my heart started to pound hard. So i started to read my bible and pray silenty for guidance. Then i knew i had to pray over this girl out loud. So i said, "Daniela, i know this might soudn weird to you, but can i pray for you?" Suprisingly she got a huge smile on her face, and huged me. She said, "Of course, ide love you to" so then i prayed over, her and i could tell that i had helped in away. Then she asked me what my religion was, so i told her. I talked about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, and having a personal relationship with him. I told her that she to could be forgiven, and God loves her very much, and she can cry out to him whenever she wants. She felt better, yet she was still disturbed about her troubles. But i know i planted a seed today, and that she now knows, that someone really loves her, and will listen to her problems. I just thought it was so awesome. isn't God good!?!

Yes, He is so good. Thanks for sharing. I believe you were led one step at a time into this by the Holy Spirit starting with what your friend told you and ending with your classmates openness and readiness for that prayer time you had with her. And she listened to you share about Jesus too.

And sounds like you have made a new friend.

I am Praising God.

That is wonderful. Your friend was right--we do need to step out and share our faith which also includes usually getting out of our comfort zone. Before I became a Christian and someone asked if they could pray for me, I didn't say no--it made me happy.
