Ok the sermon was simply Titled Super natural week 1, but come on. Can't help, but give my take on the whole YCH in a Cup type meme.
They did an alter call and I knew in my heart I struggled with a grudge. Yet, the root of it is fear of never seeing this guy agian. Which had played a part in why I went hay wire in my faith last year.
I felt guilty for being a lousy friend. I probably had a right to be steadfast in my beliefs, but that should not have changed how I thought of him. He was like a brother to me. Stabbed me in the back and left with his highschool friends.
I know in my heart I need to keep him in my prayers. I was broken during Covid. I know he traveled to a city where it got hit the hard.
Today, it seems practical to make him part of my Super Natural prayer. Over and over again I kept thinking, " bring him home home safe." It did nothing to keep me from crying, but the presence of the Holy Spirit seemed to melt my social anxiety away. Crowds are difficult for me. At work I zone out because I can. Moving a mop does not take logic.
I am not going to stop praying for my best friend. Just because he hurt me with false assumptions and abandoned... It changed nothing. I love him like a brother and I would welcome him home with open arms. God forgave me for my year of prodigal living. Even if takes a life time... I hope and pray I get to see him again.
