Our little country church built a
fence with low grade boards that had been donated. Within months, the boards
twisted into crooked shapes. I hated that fence and it seemed to take forever
to get it fixed. Each time I drove up to the church parking lot, I winced.
Then a friend remarked, “When I look
at that fence, it’s a prod to me to pray about all that’s wrong--every
out-of-whack relationship and our neighbors and church members who suffer from
some pain or trouble.”
I followed her lead. When I spied the
bent boards, I interceded for burdened folks. I even took a photo of the fence
for my prayer journal.
Now that the fence is straight again, I’m reminded to
praise God for His many answers to my prayers.
Praying for others is the most
unselfish thing we can do. To bring hope, help and healing to countless people
you know. You might not be able to aid them in other ways, but you can give
them the gift of prayer. To get you out of yourself and focused on someone
else. You invite God’s purpose and power into the situation.
“This lifts us out of the puny
reasons for living that we humans invent apart from Him,” says Ruth Myers in
her book 31 Days of Prayer.

| 31 Days of Prayer |
We become partners with the Lord of
the Universe to impart miracles into mayhem, instill exciting, fresh
possibilities into sterile circumstances.
For whom do you need to pray today?
How long will you commit to pray for
them?
