I am pretty passionate about prayer. I know beyond a shadow
of doubt that it works. Throughout my travels and my life there have been
moments when there was nothing else to do but pray. When it was a matter of
life or death, peace or chaos, joy or anger, sleeping on the street or in a
bed... the list goes on and on. I believe that prayer changed what was happening.

 

The thing with prayer is that it's to be a two way
conversation. I believe that God speaks to us today. He speaks through a variety
of ways, because he is passionately in love with us.

 

Scripture says that Jesus intercedes (prays) for us (Romans
8).

 

I'll admit, I'm horrible at keeping a list of people to pray
for. I lack the commitment and frankly I get bored of praying the same thing
all the time. However, I love it when I feel like I am praying the same prayers
that Jesus / the Holy Spirit is praying for people. It makes the prayers feel
alive, real and authentic, rather than religious or empty.

 

So here is what I would like to do... If you send me your
address (email or snail) to add to my blog subscription and/or to receive my
newsletters... I'll spend sometime with the Lord (prayer) and send you what I
pray and/or what I feel like the Lord is saying. I am not asking for a list of
your prayer requests, because I want to get close enough to Christ that I can
hear His prayers for you and add my amen to them. If you aren't interested in
getting my updates, but want me to pray that's cool too, just let me know. This
is more of an opportunity for me to practice praying and for you to hopefully
reap the benefits of it.

I wrote this blog a few days ago, but hadn't posted it yet. Little did I know that I was going to be in desperate need of a word from the Lord. For me, I know that the Lord speaks as I am seeking Him on behalf of others. As I am waiting on the Lord, I would love to hear what He has to say to you. 

And well, my silly internet is to slow to add new photos, sorry friends.
