pray for each other

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

Do you ever have someone ask for you to pray for them? I do and it happens often in my line of work. One of the pieces of my life that I try to commit to is stopping to pray for that person when they ask. That request may come in person, on the phone, via Facebook, in an email or letter and maybe several difference ways. Praying at that point is important.

When we stop at that moment and pray for them, we say "you are important to me". We might even say through our pray that "God cares about you" which is incredible.

I'm going to leave today's thought at this … "pray for each other" … make it part of your life. It take 30 seconds or less to stop and take the time to pray. It may change someone's life!

Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

"Wild Goose Chase" by Mark Batterson (a review)

Hitting the book shelves of the bookstores and the market place on the Internet is Mark Batterson's book Wild Goose Chase . This is an awesome book to follow In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day , Mark's first book. You can follow Wild Goose Chase and also see Mark's "10 Steps to Setting Life Goals" at www.chasethegoose.com . BOOK REVIEW (of sorts) I really enjoy Mark Batterson's style and find him easy to read and understand. At the same time I find myself challenged as a Christ follower and as a church leader. The reader is reminded that life is intended, from God, to be an adventure and not boring. Mark talks about six cages that hold Christians back from being who God intends for us to be. They are: the cage of responsibility , the cage of routine , the cage of assumptions , the cage of guilt , the cage of failure , and the cage of fear . Each one opens up some pretty deep questions for ...
