Lots of people ask me to pray about various things. The challenge for me is not to forget. One of the worst things, in my mind, is to tell someone I will pray for them and then not do it. Or perhaps I know of a need in someones life that I should be praying about whether they ask me to or not. Not doing what I know I should be doing is sin.
Right now I am praying for a single mom and her daughter; for friends who have separated after 19 years of marriage; for the last week of Crossroads camp; for the Gauntlet; for my grandchildren and their parents; for a friend's mom who is very sick; for our President; for Perry and his family; for other staff at NewSpring at all campuses.
But do I pray for them with earnestness? Do I really stand in the gap for them? Do I just say help, heal, restore, guide or do I really wrestle with God for them? Do I beg God to do great and miraculous things in their lives? Or are they just a passing thought in my mind as I pray?
