Did you start into your prayer time recently and then hit a snag?
Did you have to pause and think of someone's name? Or why they stopped you (or emailed you, or whatever) and asked that you pray with them?
Oh dear.
We don't have to be "old" to have a memory lapse. We are all hurried and hustled, and sometimes things slip away from us.
That's why I would encourage each of us to maintain a list of folks that have needs and requests. That way when we are praying, we can bear these people up to the Lord and ask for His comfort and blessings for them, or we can add our praise to theirs for answered prayer.
Nothing fancy. Just a list.
I've found that it's encouraging, too, to look back at a list from a while back, and see the ways that God has moved in peoples' lives!
If you have a prayer request today, won't you share with us, so that we may pray with you?
We are continuing to pray for our son. He now has a job...... thank you Lord!! It is a 4 month contract working in a theatre as head scenic carpenter in a town 2000 or so miles from home. So he’s good for now. The rest of us are going to miss him terribly.
