Everyone needs prayer

I feel blessed that, all my life, there was always at least one person praying for me.  Often times, there were more.  Imagine not having anyone to pray for you.  Prayer can lift a person up without them ever knowing you prayed for him or her.  God hears every prayer. 

Sometimes, (more often than not actually), I see people walking or driving past me who look completely defeated.  Even though I don't know their name, I pray for them.  God knows which person I am referring to at that time.  He even knows who I am talking about if I pray later.  "God, remember that young woman in the grocery store who looked like she could barely muster enough strength to push her cart?  Please find her where she is and comfort her."

I don't usually know what the outcome of my prayer is, but I know that God will send his Holy Spirit to that person.  And she doesn't have to open the door to the Holy Spirit.  However!!!!  It's difficult for a person NOT to open that door. And the more people praying for that same person, the louder the knock and the longer the Holy Spirit lingers. 

So you think your prayers are in vain and falling on deaf ears?  Not true!  How about if other people see the same woman and they also pray for her?  If everyone who passed her in the grocery store prayed for her....wow!!! Can you imagine the impact of God's Holy Spirit?

Need prayer?  Know someone who needs prayer?  Send me your first name or their first names.  You don't even need to tell me what's wrong.  It's the prayer part that is important.  Whoever you are, I'll pray for you any day of the week!

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7
