And I couldn\u2019t really see how we were going to cope with the future, with what it would bring.<\/p>\n<p>So last Thursday, which was 6th September, Terri said to me \u201cwhy don\u2019t you go in the prayer room and talk to God\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>We went to the group meeting feeling very low still. Terri persuaded me to spend an hour in the prayer room. At first I said no, but then went in. <\/p>\n<p>As I entered I felt a real presence of God. I sat down facing a wall and said \u201cokay God, speak to me\u201d. I prayed for about half an hour for family etc, then I had this picture (or vision) appear in my mind. It was a bit like a dream, but so real:<\/p>\n<p>Ruben and I were walking along a path, hand in hand. A man approached us. He was quite young, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. <\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cthe path ahead is very rough. It\u2019s full of brambles, rocks and thorns. I will help you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He took us both by the hand and walked along the path with us. When I looked down, all our feet were bleeding. None of us had any shoes on including the young man.<\/p>\n<p>Soon we came to the end of the path and a smooth road was ahead. The man let go of our hands and said \u201cyou will be okay now\u201d and walked away. We continued on our way. I had a real feeling of joy as I sat there. <\/p>\n<p>At first I didn\u2019t understand why all our feet were bleeding, but I think it was to show that Jesus suffers with us, and he knows how we\u2019re suffering. <\/p>\n<p>Two days later during my quiet time at home the picture came back again. This time there was a difference. At the end of the walk I asked the man who he was. He said \u201csome say I am nobody. But to you I am everybody.\u201d Then he walked away as before.<\/p>\n<p>I feel a load has been lifted from my heart. I see a future now that I didn\u2019t before: hope and joy. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>\u2014\u00a0Lynn, Hampden Park Venue<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a story from our 30 days of prayer, we would love to hear them!
