MEET LINDA HOBBS FROM NEBO, SOUTH CAROLINA
H
i, my name is Linda Hobbs from Nebo, South Carolina.
One of the things that I love about the Women World Leaders’ magazine is the ability to use it with purpose. This past month, I was able to use one of the articles. “Ever Interceding” by Diana Brown in 2022’s 1st Quarter issue had an impact not only on my heart but on others I love. As a young mother and father, my husband and I used to pray scriptures over our children when they were sleeping. We would declare God’s Word over each one of them. I know and believe in my heart that God heard every one of those prayers. All of our children are now married with children of their own. And I still pray scriptures over each of them, my grandchildren, and great-grandchild.
One of my grandchildren has recently gone through a move and a job loss and was discouraged. In Diana’s article, she had listed a number of scriptures from God’s Word with blank spaces so that we could write in a person’s name and pray scripture over them. I immediately wrote in my grandchild’s name, took a picture of the page, and sent the whole page to them. I told them to read these scriptures every day, with their name inserted in the blanks, and declare God’s Word over their life. I received a text back - their heartfelt thanks and tears flowed. My own pastor recently did a sermon on how to pray, which so many people find hard to do. He said that praying God’s Word aloud is a perfect way to communicate with God. I’m not only inserting my grandchildren’s names in these wonderful verses, but I’m also putting my own name in these verses. This encourages me every day. Thank you for sharing Voice of Truth with the world. It makes lasting memories and has a great impact on lives.
