Prayer Promises (dedicated to Josie)

So this girl is like a sister to me. I have very close female friends whom I consider sisters, but this girl, in a way I can't explain, is like a clone of who I am.

She is currently going thru a very painful difficulty, but yet, she seems to give me encouragement even when she doesn't have it for herself. I had a deep talk with her yesterday about how scared I felt regarding my conversations with the friend who keeps telling me that God is trying to reveal something to me. She explained something to me that although three other friends had done the same, Josie's way just seemed a bit more comprehensible and in the way she spoke to me it made me awake and open my eyes in a way I hadn't before...

I thank God for her and friends like her. She speaks to me with such love, care and compassion, almost as if I were one of her own kids. No matter what happens between us, we just can't seem to part ways... we are inseparable! We have this really strong bond that pulls us together as if we were blood sisters. I feel this connection and trust toward her that I can't even understand, and I know that it's only God who is capable of providing friendships of this nature.

I pray today that God can protect her; that He watches over her and that she can find real comfort and peace in Him. For now this is all I can hold on to and pass on to her as well as to everyone else who is reading this:

Prayer Promises "Prayer is the answer to every problem in life. It puts us in tune with divine wisdom, which knows how to adjust everything perfectly. So often we do not pray in certain situations, because from our standpoint, the outlook is hopeless. But nothing is impossible with God; nothing is so entangled that it cannot be remedied; no human relationship is too strained for God to bring about reconciliation and understanding; no habit so deep rooted that it cannot be overcome; no one is so weak that he cannot be strong; no one is so ill that he cannot be healed; no mind is so dull that it cannot be made brilliant. Whatever we need if we trust God, He will supply it. If anything is causing worry or anxiety, let us stop rehearsing the difficulty and trust God forhealing, love and power ." -EGW, R & H Oct. 7, 1865
