Our pastors wife was in the process of being an hospital chaplin,I spoke to her about out it,and I said I would pray for her. On a later occasion I spoke to as to how she was getting on?,She said she had done to funeral services,and she further said that was finding it difficult,but then she said I remembered Billy was praying for me,and that helped her a lot.I was encouraged to hear that,and it was a reminder that when you know someone is praying for you it makes a difference,it is an encouragement. We can pray for people but we can also pray with people,like the lady in our fellowship who is grieving over the lost of a son,and I prayed with her. I later visited her and her husband,and of course I talked with then ,and read God's word and prayed with them,and they wherever so thankful,and grateful. One of my sons and his wife spent time in Ibiza,leading a team who ministered to mainly young people ,what they usually did was to pray with them,and usually they responded. Dont ever think in a negative way as regards prayer,our dear Saviour encouraged us not to give up praying (Luke 18 v1 )There is much so to pray about ,people in your church need your prayers ,the district were God has placed you,there are so many people who need our prayers.It is not a pointless exercise,your prayers will make a difference,be assured of that.Alfred Tennyson wrote, ''Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer,than the world dreams of. Wherefore let thy voice rise fot me day and night'. Someone wrote the following based on 2 Corinthians 10 v4.
''We use God's mighty weapons to knock down
the strongholds of human reasoning and to
destroy,false arguments.Prayer is the weapon''
