David and I took a stroll around in the mall as I waited for my car to get an oil change. David was focused on getting his ice cream and I was focused on keeping up with him. There was a lady sitting on a bench inside the mall. I didn't see her face just her back and I felt a prompt to go and talk with her.
Well initially, I said to myself "Nah, I'm on my way to get some ice cream, let David play and come back to get my car." So I basically told the Holy Spirit "I'm too busy." David and I hung out for a bit and then it was time to head back to get the car. Still sitting there was this woman on a bench, still couldn't see her face. Again, the Holy Spirit prompted me to talk to her. I sat down next to her, when I looked in her face, it was this lady that I had seen around in my neighborhood. Each time I saw this woman in the neighborhood I always wanted to talk to her, but this time it was the Holy Spirit telling me to and not just my "wanting." Funny how God worked that out.
So I sat next to her and asked her would she like prayer for anything. She said she had gotten fired from her job over 2 weeks ago and she doesn't know what to do. Every application she puts in she thinks they are looking at her age and not hiring her because of it. I told her there is no job discrimination in heaven. She smiled and we prayed for God's favor to go before her with her job search. David grabbed her hand and we made a mini prayer circle there on the bench.Maybe God just wanted to reassure her that he was with her and will make provisions.
