I've known it was coming all week long. A couple of people had mentioned to me about this person and that person needing special prayer. Of course, I pray for all of our people but I am aware that some are struggling so due to illness, the economy, or just life in general. So, today, about half-way through my sermon I just stopped - or should I say, I was stopped and we did something 'so simple' and yet 'so powerful'. We prayed, yep, just prayed. Nothing fancy, we just prayed. We called for the Elders, pulled out the oil, and opened the altar for prayer - anyone, for any reason. And, my did they come.

Do you still pray? I mean really pray? Do you pray for you children, everyday, that the Lord would shower them with His blessings and surround them with His protection. Do you pray for your Husband or Wife? Do you pray that the power of the Holy Spirit would enable them to be everything that the Lord Jesus has planned for them? Do you pray for your friends? Do you pray that they would be challanged to seek after the Lord and His mercy and grace all through the day? Do you still pray?

If you do, then please add myself, my darling Wife, my most beautiful Daughter, my strong Son-In-Law, and my Four Fabulous Grandchildren to your list. Nothing fancy, just remember us when you pray. I saw today how something 'so simple' can be 'so powerful'.
