“Lord, where would you have us go to share today?” *Sue and her friends waited in silent prayer, listening intently for the Spirit’s guidance. They were spending three days devoted to worship, prayer, and sharing God’s love with others. Each day, they first sought to receive from the Father, then they interceded for their country, and finally asked for specific directions on whom to share His message with that day.
Usually, the insights they received pointed them toward various people, places, and moments during their prayer walk—like a divine to-do list of appointments. But this time, all the pieces they felt God had given them came together in a single moment, leading them to one father and daughter from Germany. As Sue sat on the bench, she snapped a picture of the view, feeling deeply that the Spirit was emphasizing, “Here. Share now.”
This experience encouraged Sue and her friends immensely, revealing to them how clearly the Holy Spirit can speak and reminding them that they can recognize His still, small voice. Earlier that day, God had placed that neighborhood on Sue’s heart, along with a prompting to sit and wait on a bench, rather than wandering as they usually did. And there it all was: the bench, the boats in the water, the family picnicking, and the boys playing soccer—all the details they had received came together, pointing to that one conversation.
Praise the Father for the ways He leads us into moments where He is already at work.
