Praying In Numbers

 

And the whole multitude of people

were praying

at the hour of incense.

             Luke 1. 10

(In praying

       and by praying,

what are we saying yes to?

              To God.

Praying in multitudes

   shares His Presence

   with everyone.

God doesn't need a multitude

   in order to hear us,

but sometimes we

   need a multitude to know

   that we are not alone in this.

Praying is one sacred way

      of loving people.

As Corrie Ten Boom once said,

"With such this prevailing prayer,

  something is bound to happen."

Prayer is seeking God,

allowing ourselves to be led by Him,

and giving Him 

    the elbow room to work

in His way

and in His perfect timing)

O LORD,

We thank You

for those who gather around

    to pray for us,

in their quiet corners

  or in a mighty gathering.

Thank You too

for the opportunity

      to pray for others

and share in the wonders

  that only You can do.

Write Your name

    over this situation at hand.

And let Your Presence

       change everything.

Even our hearts.
