A time of prayer.

Before every yql show there is a time of prayer. This being my first show I didn't know what to expect. When they said that we were going to pray for 30 minuets I thought they were crazy. Thats a long time to pray. Our generation is one that expects things to be quick and fast. So 30 minuets (I thought) would seam like an eternity. But, I was very wrong.

We did, what I call, a popcorn prayer. One person starts the prayer then anybody can jump in and continue the prayer. There is really no particular order. We were incourage to also pray silently to ourselves.

I started to pray for the kids who were there, the cast, the band, the show, the outdoor stage, Sean's message and for the weather. Off and on I would stop and just listen to the prayers going on around me. Two in particular really touched me.

One of the interns prayers touch me so much that it brought me to tears... and I didn't even understand a word of it. You see... she said the prayer in Spanish. I wasn't expecting her to speak in Spanish, so I was caught off guard. It was the first time I had ever hear a prayer in another language. I don't really know what about it touched me so. But, went she started to speak the words came out so fluidly. It was truly like God was speaking through her.

The other was a guy who was sitting behind me. I don't know who it was but, I do know that his prayer was powerful! He prayed several different times and each time I felt the same way. Overwhelmed and astounded. I didn't know that prayers could be that deep and profound.

It was the most amazing time of prayer I have ever had the pleasure of being apart of. I am so utterly thankful that I am in the yql cast! God has showed me so many amazing things!
