#12 NEXT Mother's Prayers Index |
I
had been involved in a stupid flirtation. It was with a man in our circle
who flirted with everyone. I did not take him seriously, but did have slight
feelings of my own. I was and still am a happily married young mother, but
it was a confusing time for me. One night his
wife confronted me and in my defense I said: "I swear on my children's souls
that I do not take him seriously." Afterwards, these words haunted me. It
was such a horrible thing to say, even if I was being truthful—and
the worst part was that I wasn't really sure of my feelings. I berated myself
for the whole thing because I knew better and, serious or not, I knew I
hadn't behaved the way I'd like another woman to behave towards my husband.
Mainly I feared the effect of those words on my kids.Though I told
no one about my turmoil, soon a co-worker lead me to "Embraced By The Light."
I read about the Mother's Prayers, and that very night I prayed in an effort
to make things right. I accepted responsibilty for my foolishness, and I
prayed for the other couple's marriage. Then I asked that any negativity
those awful words might bring be directed at me instead of at my children.The next morning
I awoke at 6:00 am in my daughter's bed to a male voice resonating clearly
in my head. He simply said: "There will be happiness." I never expected
an answer from my prayer! And these are not the word's I'd have chosen to
console myself with—I'd have been much more detailed! I do not know
who's voice I heard, but I have no doubt it was Heavenly. I have never awakened
so refreshed and joyful, nor so early without an alarm! I cherish that phrase:
"There will be happiness," and repeat it to myself often as a
reminder of the power prayer gives us to help ourselves and others. And
I remember how God reached out to touch a mother in despair. L. - WI |
