Surrender

On October 22, 2021, my team was given the opportunity to co-host a worship night with Psalm 139, a women’s organization on campus. My Ra team and I were deemed as the prayer team for the night. We stood in the back of the event, spaced out, so the girls who attended would feel comfortable talking and praying with us. For me, this night was like no other. I don’t know how to describe it except to say it was magical. This night is when I realized how powerful the Lord really is. For a good portion of the night, I stood there watching girls go to everyone on our prayer team, except for me. I was starting to wonder why no one was coming up to me when some of my coworkers had several girls coming up to them. I started to ask questions like whether it was because I didn’t look approachable? Does the Lord want me to focus on myself tonight? Then, towards the end of the night, the most amazing thing happened. It was during the last few songs of the night before we closed out the event, and a girl came up to me. She was struggling to speak and couldn’t help but cry. As someone who struggles with physical touch, I didn’t know what to do, so I offered her a hug. The theme of the night was surrender. That night, I put all my trust in God and he worked in miraculous ways. He brought me out of my comfort zone, so he could use me to glorify his name for someone else.
