As I sit here tonight, my heart is so heavy for a number of my friends. So many are hurting --family problems, illnesses, out of work and on and on. My prayer list seems to grow daily as I learn of more and more needs.
Prayer is such a precious gift from God. Because of prayer we can take our cares and concerns straight to Him. We know He will listen. We know He will answer.
Even more powerful? When many of us come together in prayer. Whether we pray together in the same room or just bring the same concerns before him from wherever we are, there is power in those prayers.
I am thankful tonight for prayer. I am thankful to be a part of a community of believers that all feel prayer is real and that it is mighty. I am so thankful to be one of many to know and act on the fact that so much is found when we collectively take it ALL to the Lord in prayer.
Can I pray for you today? If so, please leave me a message in the comments or send me an email. I would be honored to pray and take your cares and concerns to the Lord today.
