What Prayer Does
Who knows if I will get around to writing more than one post about this topic. I hope to, but I have made plans for many posts that still remain unwritten. So despite the fact that people write entire books on the subject, here is part of my humble take on prayer.
I am going to write this from the personal standpoint instead of the theological because I hope to encourage those who are praying for us in some small way since we have been encouraged by them. Truth be told, we have had a few rough, discouraging days recently. But each day this happens, we hear from someone back in the States that they or someone else are praying for us. On one very challenging day, we later learned that multiple people woke up in the middle of the night feeling God was leading them to pray for us right then.
Two things resonate with me about this fact. First, God has blessed us with an incredible community around the globe who support us and partner with us in what God is doing in and through us. What a great picture of the Church. Secondly, each time we hear people are praying for us, we are given a new burst of energy and are encouraged in our work. So, to all those who have prayed for us, thank you and please continue to pray as God leads you.
