Colossians 1:9 tells us "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives..."
I absolutely love praying for people. I do! I love to pick people, pray for them for at least 30 days, and watch the Lord work in their life. Have you done that before? Sometimes there's something specific that I will drop into the prayer for a day or two, but usually it's more of a "Please let them feel You working in their heart" or something along those lines... I mean, it's not like I know how that person needs God to move them. That's between the OG and them.
One of my friends has a running-list she opens up every month, and I give her MAD props! It's a lot to take on, committing to devote time to every person she asks for every month! Not everyone is willing and able to keep that up on the regular. I wish life gave us time for our paths to cross more frequently, so often my soul longs for the connections with women of Faith that I had in college - it's so hard to find that connection in the "real world".
Gentle Reader, I challenge you to pick one person - start with just one person - you see in your daily life, and pray for them. Don't tell them. Watch how your devotion, your conversations with God, your relationship with Our Father, Our Brother, the Holy Spirit, help to shape others too.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Amen.
