mosiah27: 1 - 17
when have someone else's prayers made a difference in your life? when have you felt that your prayers have made a difference in someone's life?
--> my mom often tells me that she prays for me, and i totally appreciate that. i remember a specific instance when i wasn't feeling well but had a student teaching observation to perform. there was no way i could cancel it and no way i could make it through the day either. i could barely stand up. my mom and i knelt in prayer before i left for school and as i listened to my mom's heartfelt plea that i would be able to make it through the observation and the day, i felt a sense of peace come over me. i didn't feel well right away, but the minute i walked up to the front of the classroom to teach, i forgot i was feeling sick. the minute i finished i felt terrible again. i know it was because of the faith and prayer of my mother that i was able to make it through and perform decently in that observation.
in our ysa stake we hold a "Zion Day" every tuesday where members of the stake each pray for each other on tuesdays. i have felt multiple times that when i take the time and energy to pray for specific sisters on that day or just for the members of the stake in general, i feel a confirmation that my prayers mattered. i also know they matter because i've called upon the faith and prayers of the members of the stake and have felt the guidance and spirit of the Lord in greater measure with the very thing i was seeking. what a powerful day. i have come to love tuesdays.
