    Gary,
    I haven't been online much recently, so I went back a little through your prayer blog and saw Feb 22nd. I wanted to say that while you could not call out the name of Jesus, Jesus was there with you. I can't explain the scratch marks, but frankly speaking those are superficial compared to things I could imagine happening if such evil were allowed to really harm you. I think that the image you saw was walking back and forth because he was frustrated that he couldn't have you. Satan is trying to get at you on different levels, but you have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb and nothing can separate you now from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Even when you walk through the darkest time remember that you needed not fear evil, because the Good Shepherd is with you. His rod protecting you and his staff comforting you, keeping you by his side. He will prepare a feast for you in the presence of your enemies and honor you in front of them by anointing your head with oil, setting you aside for His purpose. I know dreams be terrifying and be signs both the stresses we are under as well as the spiritual attacks. Recently I have had some horrible dreams. 1 where I learned that Ivan was not my son and that his mom (quite an undesirable person) was going to take him away from me. And she didn't even care about him. She left him alone in his stroller next to an busy elevator where anyone could have taken him. Another dream where some sicko was planning on killing me then cutting the baby out and eating her heart. Thirdly was a dream that someone sent photos of our family to us with a veiled threat that they would take Ivan unexpectedly and do vile things to him and we'd never see him again. I don't know what caused those dreams, except that I've been battling with my thought life. I think a battle over what thoughts I will allow to consume/control me...and have been fighting to put my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ; my mind under his authority so that I will think of whatever is good, true, excellent, noble, praiseworthy, good reputation, etc. Needless to say, in the battle I have lost a lot of sleep the past 4 days.

    Gary,
    Hey, I guess I've really been away a while consumed in my own life. I hope your family is healthy again or at least on its way there. May God sustain you through your infirmities and pour his mercy on you. By the way I like your definition of prayer. I think you can pray anywhere at any time. Doesn't the Bible say to pray without ceasing? In some ways our life is a prayer, but I think it is important to have a verbal or mental chat with God acknowledging what He is doing, listening for His direction, asking for Him to work in various ways, and giving Him our burdens to carry, because this shows we truly trust Him and acknowledge that we are not in control, but He is. It sure is a relief sometimes just crying before Him unable to say much of anything, but simply claiming that the Holy Spirit knows our thoughts & needs and will pray on our behalf.
