There are times in my daily life when I can get pretty wrapped up in what I am doing. We can get off track and accomplish less and less when we get on this merry go round. When I recognize this happening I have to Stop ! Look ! and Listen! Where am I going and what am I doing. Have I jumped out ahead or without the Lord all together. This is easy to do if were not careful. So just like at a railroad crossing we need to be watchful or we can get into a situation that robs our energy and time.
Today I'm thinking of the times the "Holy Spirit" has been laying someone on my heart. As I begin thinking about them let my memories carry me off to a place of reminiscing or dreaming. Recently this happened and "I tell this" so as to remind you of how important it is to stay focused on God because Someone usually is in need of prayer when we have them in our thoughts again and again. Getting wrapped up in life and the "cares of the world" can swoop us away from God. This should be "for a Christian" our "highest" concern. To be sensitive to the Holy Spirits beconing Always.
So I "will" make that phone call.
I "will "pray.
I "will" convey Gods love to them.
I" will" take even more time to check with the Holy Spirit to see if there is anything else I should be praying or doing for them.
If a call isn't possible to call the person your praying for. Let the Holy Spirit lead. Just simply pray being sensitive to intercede as the Holy Spirit leads you. When the burden for that person starts lifting off of your heart by lightening and disappearing. You are finished. If there is more praying to do "Holy Spirit" will touch your heart once again to pray. Some praying is continual until the problem or need is accomplished by your work of prayer through Him. From time to time the Lord will allow you to hear from this person confirming that they needed your prayers for a situation they were walking through. This is always a precious blessing from God for you to receive this confirmation of encouragement.
The best time to pray is in the morning early as Jesus regularly did as we read throughout the New Testament.
When we can't do this. Be sure to pray as soon as we are able to. So as to start our day off being sensitive of the Lords presence and concerns daily.
Please read the scriptures below for meditation and help from above.
And "thank you" for praying for others. God Bless every one of you that are sensitive to God's call to Prayer!
Mark 1:35
Now in the morning having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place and there He prayed.
Psalm 5:3
My voice You shall hear in the morning O 'Lord
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
Psalm 5:3
But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly.
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning s which cannot be uttered.
