Trusting God

This week we spent an afternoon at a nursing home which was refreshing to my spirit more than anything. Only a few of us on our team can speak Spanish pretty well and the barrier is something that we have learned to overcome through prayer and singing. We spent about a solid hour singing at the nursing home with the people there just praising God together in both languages, it was really really beautiful. Singing has become something that we do often as a team because it fills us all up together.
This worship at the nursing home came when we needed it most too because we had spent the morning in the market in Puerto Barrios prayer walking and praying with people. Let me say that this was by far the heaviest and darkest place that we have been in so far, as we walked around even praying was exhausting me. As we walked we would stop at the little stores as the spirit led and ask the owners if we could pray with them. To my surprise most people accepted prayer and some even requested prayer for specific things, only a few said no. 
One of the biggest challenges here is that a good majority of people here do believe in God, but they have no desire to do anything about it. There is nothing more frustrating to me than answering why I have hope and why I choose to follow Christ in my sad broken Spanish. This is the time when I have to trust God the most. 
Here we have to trust God for everything: for daily strength, for joy, for peace, and for protection. The most important thing we have to offer the people here is our prayers and Christ’s love. That is what we were called here to do.
