prayer results

Last Wednesday, in our life group, I did something that is very much not like me. I know what compelled me to do it, aggravation mostly.

Through the previous week, I was getting pains in my wrist to go with the ongoing discomfort I have been experiencing in my shoulder. The shoulder problem has been around a while and I have no idea of it's origin. A few months ago, the shoulder was prayed over at an Encounter meeting and the problem subsided for a while. The wrist was broken about ten years ago, but hadn't been a problem until last week.

The arm was bothering me enough on Wednesday that I made sure to sit in a seat with an arm rest, to help with the discomfort. At the end of the meeting, one of the group asked if there were any prayer requests. After mulling it over for a minute or two, I finally gave in and mentioned my arm.

In the last 7 days, I have had no problem with the wrist and only one incident with the shoulder. In fact, on Thursday, I was holding on to some wall board as I was cutting it loose. As it fell, I realised that it was in my left hand and that I was going to be in some serious pain within the next second or two. It never came.

(It's at this point that I'm not sure what to say next, therefore I won't.)
