HSS: The Spirit Moves in the Animal Clinic

Dan Wilt introduces a Holy Spirit story from pastor John Shaul, who describes an encounter at a veterinary emergency clinic. While waiting with his own dog, John and his wife connected with a worried couple whose cat needed urgent care. Drawing on their shared experience of losing beloved pets, John felt prompted to offer prayer. The couple welcomed it, and John prayed for comfort, peace, and wisdom for both the family and the veterinary team—leaving encouraged that a simple act of obedience can bring God’s care into an ordinary moment. Dan reflects on how personal suffering can deepen compassion and prepare us to serve people facing similar pain. John adds that being available to God means choosing presence over hurry: staying attentive to the people and moments in front of us rather than being ruled by the clock. The episode closes with a prayer and journaling prompts inviting listeners to consider the challenges God has carried them through, recognize others experiencing similar struggles, and look for opportunities to offer love, encouragement, and prayer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sing along with us! ► https://seedbed.com/hymnal/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Get the Wake-Up Call in your email each day ► https://seedbed.com/wakeupcall ⛪️ Are you a pastor?
