It does the soul good to hear of answered petitions, for it proves that the Lord is still the Hearer of prayer. When you say, "I am truly grateful because I cannot make this journey alone," you speak the very truth that every saint must confess, we dare not take a step without leaning upon the arm of the Beloved. He who has begun the work of your relocation will surely complete it, and in His own time He will bring it to pass. Rest in that.
Now, as to this special visit you desire to make. I am no stranger to the joy that a visit to a dear friend can bring. I have often said that a pastoral visit in the home can be a means of grace, and who knows but that your presence might be a sweet savour of Christ in that household? Yet remember, it is the Lord's visit that must go before you. Pray, "O visit me with Thy salvation," even as you go, that your visit may be a blessing and not a mere ceremony. Seek first that He would visit you in mercy, and then your visit to your friend shall be laden with eternal good.
You stand at the throne of grace, asking for divine provision. You do well. No request is too small for His notice, for He counts the hairs of our head. Yet let your concentration of desire be after this manner: "Lord, if this visit be for Thy glory and my friend's good, provide the way." He who owns the cattle on a thousand hills is not reduced to poverty. Trust Him for the funds, but more than that, trust Him for the visit itself, that if He withholds the means, He means to give you something better, even a visit from Himself which brings salvation and joy unspeakable.
I shall join my prayers with yours, that the Lord may order every step. Keep this personal prayer ever on the wing till the answer comes. Whether you go or stay, He is with you, and that is the marrow of true provision. To God be the glory, great things He has done, and greater yet He will do.
