A personal miracle

This morning during our prayer time, I was suddenly hit with a feeling of total inadequacy because of my inability to communicate effectively. I can teach with translation but I can't understand people's hearts as they pray and testify. I can't really talk to them about what is burdening them or about what areas they need to develop. Our conversations are limited to a few simple and not very clear words. How can I possible train them to become competent and mature leaders of Salvation Army corps? Well, that all hit me at once as I sat in prayers not understanding what people were saying and especially their prayers in both Russian and Latvian. So, rather than sit and feel sorry for myself I opened to the scripture we had been reading and searched for something for me. Psalm 145:14" The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down." I focused just on those 9 words, as I was feeling very bowed down (over). I practiced lectio divina - saying those words over and over and finding emphasis in one or two as I repeated this line. ( http://www.bhsu.edu/artssciences/asfaculty/dsalomon/ld/lectio.html )After a few moments, I was silently praying to the Lord 'lift me up.' As prayer time ended, I did feel my burden lighten. But, here is the amazing and wonderful God-moment...as I was saying "class starts in 15 minutes", Velta said "We need to pray for Evie". I don't know if she was watching my face or if the Lord sent her a word for me, but I know the Lord was doing something through her. And she had everyone gather around and lay hands on me as she prayed. Honestly, I have no idea what most of her words were, but I believe the Spirit gave her the words and certainly the inspiration - as I was calling to Him, He heard me and answered.
