Headache!

My wife and I support a pregnancy clinic here in our community. Every year they have a fund raiser in the spring called 'Walk For Life.' It's about a two mile walk from start too finish. So yesterday was walk day. The director of the clinic asked me to do the opening prayer and I agreed. So the morning of the walk, I started getting a headache. It started out very dull, but increased as the morning wore on. So we went in to register and get our t-shirts, the headache kept increasing in power. We headed outside, and the director started the opening ceremonies. She finished with the directions about the walk and then invited me up to do the prayer. My head was killing me. I had wanted to say so much more, but just couldn't. I prayed a quick little short prayer and we were on our way. In hindsight, that was probably a good thing. Because while I was praying, it started to drizzle. So being quick about it was probably appreciated. So the enemy knew that I was going to do the opening prayer and he tried to stop me by causing a sever headache. Well you know what Mr. Devil? My GOD is bigger than my headache and your plans to stop me from praying. I had been praying on the way to the walk for God to take away the headache. He did not take it away, but He did give me the strength to power through. He knew what I was facing, and He strengthened me. Philippians 4:13 New Living Translation (NLT)13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Press into God and He will provide what you need!
