"It may be that we will never learn to pray,
never have any ongoing, creatively disciplined prayer
life until our desire for communion with God is so
great that we will be driven to prayer. Consider that
thought for a few minutes. How great is your hunger
for communion with God?"
"I can see it in your eyes
You were made to overcome
I can see it in your eyes
You were made to rise above
I can see it in your eyes
So take these wings and fly"
"If
we genuinely love people, we desire for them far more than it
is within our power to give, and that will cause us to
pray." -- Richard J. Foster
Think
of the people you love. Do you wish
more for them than you can provide through your own
ability? If you knew that God's provision for them was only a
prayer away, would you consider prayer as something more than
a last resort?
What
if it was your only resort?
Encouraging
others to discover, develop and share their God-given gifts is
my vocation. So every few weeks I email a newsletter with
snippets of Biblical wisdom to readers from many different
countries. I've had one book published and expect to publish
my second book next year.
Impressive?
Hardly.
Someone
I love has a hurt I can't reason away with a newsletter or
book. Someone I love needs strength and guidance that isn't
mine to offer. Someone I love has needs that neither of us
even know. Someone I love needs more than I can give.
Someone I love...needs me to pray.
Ask
yourself...
Based
on the above quote, how
would I feel if I knew someone was praying for me?
Who
do I pray for?
Who
will I pray for?
"Things happen when we pray that do not happen if
we don't pray." -- Maxie Dunnam
"Prayer is
not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and
applied, it is the most potent instrument of action." --
Mahatma Gandhi
Don't worry about anything; instead,
pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him
for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's
peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can
understand. --
Philippians 4:6-7a
