This day, some of us around here are facing battles far too large to win them
on our own. For anyone reading this, I ask that you would take a few moments
and whether you know who is in desperate need of prayer or not, PRAY.
Sometimes we can look at Goliath and fearlessly confront him and beat him.
Other times we look at what is happening and it appears to our feeble eyes to
be too big for us to handle. Guess what, IT IS. David only was victorious over
Goliath because of his faith that God would give him the victory. Left to his
own wiles, David would have been squashed like a June bug.
Some of us are facing extremely difficult decisions which will determine a
multitude of things and people in our lives. Some of us are fighting tooth
and nail to stay above the water financially. Some of us are engaged in raging
battles regarding our health. Instead of quoting some verse about being more
than conquerors, we should reach out to our family for prayer support
and cover.
Far too many times we all have been guilty of racing into battle all alone and
suddenly finding ourselves outnumbered and outgunned. More than once,
I have had to turn around and run as fast as I could back to the security of
the family of God. Asking for prayer is really nothing more or less than
reaching out to our brothers and sisters and asking them to help you deal
with whatever is going on.
Prayer is the wind beneath our wings and allows us to sail above the enemy.
Prayer is the healing balm of Gilead which soothes our wounds. Prayer is the
iron fist of unity displayed proudly to the enemies who think they are better
or bigger. Prayer is the backbone that keeps us from falling to pieces when
things do not work out as we desire.
I need your prayers this day for some daunting physical issues seeking to
dismantle me. Others need your prayers this day for wisdom and strength
as they sit face to face with enemy agents seeking their destruction
professionally. Others need your prayers this day as they face a rash of
personal situations that are seeking to overthrow their faith. Others need
your prayers this day to keep from making horrible decisions that would
devastate their families.
Anyone who claims they do not need prayer is only lying to themselves.
We all need prayer and we all need to pray for each other more and more
as we see the Day approaching. I urge all of us to spend a little extra time
today in prayer not only for those people and needs we know about, but
for anyone and everyone who is struggling and needs their burden lifted.
After all, the greatest thing prayer does is to lift the burden off the
shoulders of someone who is struggling and collectively placing it on
everyones shoulders.
