I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of
the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
Remember when prayer chains moved across telephone
lines, one person at a time? Some still do. But, now many are posted on social
media. I’m concerned that the ones posted may be overlooked or forgotten. We flick through the pictures, glance at captions and comments, then move on. I think I'll remember to pray or at least write them down as I see them, but I've found the best method for me is to stop
and pray at that moment. God wants me to seek him in prayer. Not just for
myself, but for others. For the burdens of life, praises and joy and to bring
others to salvation. He wants to hear the requests, groans and thank yous.
Even the apostle Paul asked his friends to pray
for him. Packed and ready to move along on his journey, he sought out prayer
warriors, who would take his needs to God.
As I write this,
hundreds of people pray healing prayers to God for a dear, dear lady in our
community. One who has suffered at the wretched hands of cancer. She's a light
to all who know her and a joy to the children she loves. Her ministry has
touched countless lives. Now she needs our prayers. Even in her suffering she loves
God and continues to shine Jesus light.
Pray for Lori, her
family and the friends who rally around her and love her. God is bigger than
all of this.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16
