Over the weekend I walked way up north as a bit of a training exercise to see how I would cope with long distance.
As I walked, I prayed this over many of the passing motorists:
Lord, just give that person joy right now - even as they are driving. And give them travelling mercies Lord so the joy wouldn't cause accidents. Lord, let it be such a full measure of joy that it will impact their lives...
And 2 days later someone came up to me and asked if I was walking up north past Warkworth. i replied that it was me, and this person said that he noticed me as he was driving on that road, and as he went past me, he just felt such a measure of joy come over him ... and he mentioned that he will always remember that day!!
And now I know God has in a sovereign way also shown me that those prayers were not in vain.
And I just thank Jesus for encouraging and preparing me in body, mind and spirit for this trip. Amen.
