Somebody Prayed

"Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." (Romans 8:26 ESV)

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." (James 5:16 ESV)

Have you ever been in a situation that you had no idea how to get out of? Or needed money to pay a bill or get groceries or whatever, and it came at the perfect time? Somebody prayed for you.

My mom prayed a lot over her kids. She prayed a lot over my 2 older brothers during the Viet Nam war. Both were over there, different countries, same war. They came home alive and intact. Mom prayed. A lot!

Every night there by your bed. You fold your hands and bow your head. Throwing out another prayer in faith.

There's a song called, "Somebody Prayed" by  David Crowder:

"When you're wondering if He's hearing you.
Look at me,
I'm living proof.
I'm only right where I am today,
Because somebody prayed." (Somebody Prayed by David Crowder)

For all those praying parents, grandparents, and  friends. You may never know what you diverted. You may have just saved the life of a loved one. My advice to you is to keep praying. The life you save may be a loved one. Maybe you noticed your child has gotten quiet and withdrawn. That child may be getting bullied and is thinking about taking their life. Keep praying.

God hears your prayers and sees your tears. Keep praying even if you don't know what exactly you are praying for. Just keep praying. Just keep it up. Somebody may be better because you prayed. 

Have a wonderful day, everyone.
