Prayer & Crisis Referral Newsletter | July 2023
Hello Friends,
You can turn that frown upside down! We all have those calls where a problem can feel
insignificant compared to other concerns. Maybe even compared to our own. Today, I have an amazing example of an opportunity where we helped someone count their blessings. As you read, remember that this call was handled with gentle concern and compassion.
The other day a woman called the Prayer Line because she was emotionally distraught
about an automobile accident she was in the previous day. That afternoon, she called
her employer to inform them she could not get out of bed and called the Prayer Line.
After hearing about the accident, Sherry, our prayer minister, tried to determine how to
pray with her and asked if the woman had been taken to the hospital, how serious her
injuries were, etc.
"No injuries," replied the caller. Sherry asked if her car was totaled. "No, the vehicle is
being repaired;" so Sherry concluded she had nothing to drive. "No, I have a rental."
After asking if she was at fault and had insurance, the woman replied, "No, the driver pulled out in front of me, and my insurance is paying for my car to be repaired and for the rental."
Sherry then exclaimed, "PRAISE GOD! You're calling me with a praise report! You
were not injured, your car is being repaired, you have a rental, your insurance is paying
for everything, and the accident was not your fault! PRAISE GOD!" The caller said, "Oh my, you're right! I'm OK! Praise God!" Sherry then led her in a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord for HIS hand of protection. The caller then said, "Wow...I'm already out of bed and feeling better!" Sherry concluded the call with encouragement to keep praising Jesus.
These are things we do every day without even realizing the great work we do. Often
the referral team receives a distress call that someone is on the verge of suicide. We
immediately call back and discover their perspective has changed due to the love,
concern, and prayer you showed them. We can affect their attitude and help them see
His loving care so the caller can trust Jesus and be healed.
How exciting that you and Jesus are working together on the Lord's Prayer Line. You are doing mighty, eternal work for Him. We are so proud to serve Jesus together!
Love you all dearly,
Linda
