My prayer life is not where I would love it to be. I can say that because I have again been encouraged and taught how it should be by The Pray Without Ceasing Friend. We exchange prayer requests often. She shows me by her example by responding with all these bold requests for which she entreats the Lord. And I want that kind of boldness. I REALLY want it. Hebrews 4:16 says, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." And that's only one time in the Bible where we are taught to be bold. There are more.
Something The Pray Without Ceasing Friend said in her response to me last night that she was praying for God's people to show up in this particular area of need. That has stuck with me and my thoughts have realized what a wonderful request that is....
Show up when someone is hurting and needs encouragement.
Show up when someone just needs a little grace.
Show up when you need a little grace.
Show up to listen closely when God speaks to you.
Show up when someone says, "Pray for me".
Show up with thanksgiving and rejoicing when the Lord answers a prayer.
Show up when it's time to spend some time in the Word.
Show up when someone just needs a listening ear.
Show up when you just need to acknowledge the Lord's presence.
Show up for everything!
Consider....
