Completely Covered

How does it feel when you find out someone has been praying for you? Emotions like surprise (that someone cares), gratitude (to God), unworthiness (why me), protection (in the midst of trials), and happiness (that I’ve been heard) are typical.

It only takes two people praying in Jesus name for Him to be in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20). No matter what the situation. Prayer can eventually change any event (or person) towards God’s mindset. Praying to God requires no impressive oratory skills.

 Try talking to the Heavenly Father (or plead if necessary). Just the way you would with a good friend sitting at a local café. The Almighty desires you to have a personal relationship with Him. (Isn’t that amazing the infinite with the finite?) He wants to hear about your joys, fears, anger, or any other emotion that enters your mind on a given day.

You may be the kind of individual that enjoys worthwhile Christian novels. Would you find what occurs in the spiritual realm when one prays, an interesting topic? If so, be sure to read these two books by Frank Perretti, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness (the sequel).

As usual, the option to participate in prayer is completely up to you. You have unlimited supply of power at your disposal. Use it. (Think of it as one big mega battery.) There is also the option of handling everything on your own without the assistance of God. That choice dooms one for failure. Why would you want that? Think about it. I know you’ll make the correct option.
