Romans 15:30
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.
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. Recently, my daughter posted prayer requests on
Facebook for two different families who faced grief. She recognized that they needed someone to
intercede for them. It’s a beautiful moment when the Holy Spirit takes a
request to God.
Remember when prayer chains moved across telephone lines, one
person at a time? Some still do. But, now some are sent electronically, to
everyone at once, or simply posted on a social media site. I’m concerned that
the ones posted may be overlooked or forgotten. I’ve been thinking that I
should write them down as I see them or better yet, stop and pray at that
moment, which I often do. 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. So, I urge you
to pray for each other. And please do lift a prayer for my daughter’s friends
as they need that support. Praise God for listening and answering.
