I was, just before reading this, reminded of a situation that was clearly beyond my ability to handle. My grandson and I were in a hotel room after a family wedding. The bride knocked on the door and came in clearly angry and attacking my daughter who was not present. I knew the attack was not viable but did not know all that had transpired.
As she became more animated and angry and I trying to defend, my arm shot up into the air and I began to beseech the Holy Spirit to be present in that place and over each of us. Praying He bring peace and disarm the discord that was present. I do not know what all the words were, but there was no more accusing and she left. I was shaken but knew that the damage that could have been wrecked on us all was prevented by the power of the Holy Spirit. I am still giving thanks these several years later! To your glory Lord!
This is so powerful! Thank you.
