I've been having quite an exciting time praying for others. One time the other day, I was reading scripture and it trigured me to think about this one girl. I was praying for her all morning. That very morning, she called me out of the blue just to talk. She never calls me!
One of my other friends told me about a certain day that the Lord really spoke to her and told her not to be consumed by fear anymore. I happened to have my journal with me and flipped to that day. I had written a prayer for her about not having fear. It was so cool!
Last month, our pastor at church was speaking on restarting your life. He gave us all little cards that advertised the series and our church. He said to give it to someone that needed it. I didn't know who to give it to, so I left a few in public places. The first place I put one was in a coffee shop. After spending a couple of hours there, I looked over and the card was gone! I only remained excited until I saw that it had just been moved to another table. I figured that this might not be working. However, when I went to the mall, I had a strong urge to place a card in the bathroom at a particular store. I didn't even need to use the bathroom, but I went in anyway and placed a card on the sink. An hour later, I went back and the card had been picked up! I was so excited! I'm still praying for whoever that lady was that picked up that card. I'm praying that she got the restart that she needed.
If you haven't done much praying for others, try it. It can be more fun than you think! Prayer is so supernatural.

Pray for me... I really need it. Been going through some family matters and personal ones.
it's kinda hard praying for others when u have things of your own dealing with. Now that's the truth. ;)
but we are still praying.
"These storms are the ones that mold, cleans, take out, gives new character, and new strenght, and puts our faith in practice."
"They take us more to the cross. WE get closer to God"
"Everything, although I don't understand it, Everything works for good"

Praise God----oh yeah!!!
Pedro,
I will pray for you as well. I pray that God will use you so that you can glorify Him through your witness!! I will also pray that in that you have His peace.
My cousin (who lost her battle with cancer recently) was praying for others on her deathbed and it was a real testimony of her love for God and others. It also strengthened those that she prayed for to know how much she cared for them.
I do not always know the outcome of my prayers for others, but I know that God always listens and He loves them and wants what is best for them.

Thanks for the encouragement, Auny! Sometimes I think I minimize the power of prayer. Your life is a testimony to all who know and love you!
