Now I refuse to say that I will pray unless I mean it and do it and sometimes not until I did. When people tell me they are praying for me I really hope they are because we are to pray and do what we meant to do. Never ceasing!

Well i taught them to stop drop and pray. They knew if someone called for prayer and they saw me hit the floor that they best either join in prayer or be quiet. Same thing on FB posts and twitter. You know I post prayers right then and there because I am over 40 and I don't want to "forget" well intentioned prayers don't get actually prayed. So like my friend pinkdaisyjane...I pray immediately so "distractions" can't rob me of the joy of hearing the answer to my prayers! So... Let's pray. Holy spirit please quicken to our hearts all those that we "said" we'd pray for and lets lift them up NOW. Help us to be keepers of our word and prayers of our prayers.

Sometimes there is nothing that can be done for anyone BUT to be prayed for and THAT is often the MOST POWERFUL, MOST HELPFUL act we can give.

If someone is discouraged, can I pray AND send them something? If someone is struggling financally, can I pray for them AND help with a bill?<br /><br />Thank you for talking about this difficult yet important issue.
