"I Will Pray for You"

You have probably heard these words at a trying time in your life. You are at your wits end and have poured out your soul to others. Then someone upon hearing of your situation says, "I will pray for you." Have you felt uplifted? Or do you pass it off as just another kind word that comes along?

Now let's put yourself in the position of the one who speaks these words to someone else. Do you say these words just as a trite expression or do you really mean it? Are these words spoken because you don't know what else to say and the words seem to give comfort in an awkward situation? Or could it be that you really believe these words.

Here's the thing: Embodied in those words is the statement that you are connecting with the most powerful force in the universe. Your praying for someone else could make a life and death difference! Whether you speak those words or are on the receiving end, don't take them lightly. You never know what God might do!
