In the prayer room, God has really been encountering me and speaking to me about my feelings of loneliness.  It’s been a slow process, but I am beginning to trust Him again and know that I am not alone.

I have given myself to the place of prayer out of obedience and desire.  We have been called to surrender ourselves completely to God.  In the act of surrender, we are able to develop a relationship with God.  This is central to loving and being loved, a crux of my brokenness.  Being secure in God’s love enables me to be confident to reach out, be vulnerable, and establish intimate, healthy relationships with men and women.

In the place of prayer in the Prayer Room, I have found freedom from chains of fear, shame and hopelessness. God has continuously shown me pictures of my value and how much I mean to Him. He continues to blow my mind with His love.

I was having a pretty average day, and in my good ol’ Midwestern sarcastic, cynical attitude, I was thinking, “God, are you really going to speak to me?”  As I moved a little more toward Him with a weak “yes”, He just spoke life and identity into me.   I was blown away.
