Praying


When someone you love is hurting, you may feel there is nothing you can do to ease the pain. Especially for far away friends, family, or even someone you haven't met, but felt led to pray for, there is a way to take a bit of their misery onto your own shoulders. By sending the love of Our Father via prayer, the comfort that he will afford them will ease their suffering; they will feel your love, and His.


I know from personal experience that you can feel prayer as tangibly as you can feel a hug, see it as if you've seen a friend walk into the room. There comes a time at the bottom of your dismal pit that you experience peace, rest, comfort. There is no other explanation for it but that the prayers of others have come to you, wrapped around you and begun the healing process when you did not have the strength to begin on your own.


Who is on your mind today? Who needs to feel your prayer?
