This Christmas, and going into the New Year, has been like no other for me personally. I take to heart the prayers that people are asking for. I know that there are many families grieving at this time. Either by losing a loved one, sitting by the side of someone who is suffering, or something personal of their own struggle.
As I was reading Mark 15: 32-40, my heart was overwhelmed with sorrow, with the agony that Jesus went through. He asked them to stay awake and pray because Jesus Himself, in His humanity was overwhelmed with distress. To the point of death! Can you imagine that??
Many times in my life I have been in a place where I was lost for words to pray. So we reach out to our brothers and sisters to pray. As most of you know, I use Facebook for the glory of God. Yes, and some funny things that I like to put out there. But if I put on my page that I am asking for prayer, I sure hope that when people say they are, they really do. They are not just words being thrown up in the air. Those prayers are entering the throne Room of our God. It's powerful. It comforts the one you are praying for. I know this to be true! All Jesus wanted them to do was stay awake and pray.
So if you see your friends on Facebook asking for prayer, please take the time to bow your head and enter the throne Room of God with a request. That person who is asking will certainly feel that power of prayer.
For His Glory
