When people enter your thoughts

  • When people enter your thoughts


         What do you do when you are busy or maybe your not doing anything and out of nowhere someone comes into your thoughts? Do you wonder why did this person enter my thoughts? Maybe you haven’t seen this person in many years. Maybe you haven’t even thought of this person in many years but now they are in your thoughts. Do you start thinking of the times that you had together? Do you wonder what ever happened to this person? What do you do when this happens?
         I believe that people come into our mind and thoughts for a reason. I have come to the conclusion that in my almost 49 years of living that when someone comes into your thoughts from out of the blue the great majority of the time they are in need of prayer. I believe that many times Creator puts people into our thoughts so that we can pray for this person. Someone may be asking where is your evidence. Here are a couple of things that I would like for you to consider as to why I have come to this conclusion.
    1.Whenever someone comes into my thoughts I will pray for them. It has not always been this way but it is now. On way to many occasions for it to be a coincidence I would receive a phone call or an e-mail from someone I prayed for because they entered my thoughts saying something like I was going through something but things are looking better or I am going through this and I need prayer. 
    2. On more than a few occasions someone would call me and ask me if anything was wrong. When I asked them why they would say that I have been on their mind and that they have been praying for me. Then I would thank them and tell them what was going on.
    3. When my 18 year old son was in the tenth grade I got a bad feeling so I started praying for him. Later on that day I found out that a gang had jumped him and some of his friends. I taught my son how to fight since he could walk and he was knocking a lot of the gang members down and out so a lot of the gang members concentrated on my son. During this time while I was praying and they were getting jumped a group of my sons friends decided to take a cruise down Bull Canyon Rd. They saw what was happening and all three cars stopped and got into the fight helping my son and his friends out. My son didn’t suffer any injuries but he was sore for the next few days.
    As a note: Bull Canyon Rd. is a place where teenagers go at night to drink or to take their girlfriends to be alone with them. The incident took place during the day time when nobody goes to Bull Canyon Rd.
    4. One day two of my friends came into my mind and I didn’t pray. The next day I found out that they were in a fatal car crash. Both of them suffered greatly as they were dying. Could my praying have prevented the car crash? I don’t know. Maybe they would of still been in the accident and they may still have died. Maybe had I prayed they would of died instantly instead of suffering. I don’t know what the outcome would have been if I would of prayed for them. One thing that I do know is that I should of prayed for them.
