Today’s PrayerPoint ~ Psalm 102
“Hear my prayer, O Lord, let my cry for help come to you.
Do no hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.” Psalm 102:1-2
Do you know someone in distress? I am guessing you know a number of people who are in the midst of financial challenges, employment struggles, or health issues.
Will you pray for them this week? When someone shares their difficulties with me, here are some things I pray for:
- Wise counsel
- A growing faith
- Creative and healthy solutions
- Attentive and wise medical professionals
- Self-discipline
- Encouragement
- Discernment
- God’s peace
Being able to pray with and for others is such a blessing. This life is filled with struggles and knowing that someone is praying for us can make such a significant impact.
If you need prayer, I would encourage you to seek out a trusted friend and ask if they would pray for you. You don’t need to go into every detail, you can just say “Hey, I am going through a rough time right now and can use some prayer.” I think when we are a little transparent it helps others to be willing to share too. Allowing yourself to be a little bit vulnerable is sometimes difficult but it can lead to deeper and richer relationships.
May God bless your time in prayer this week!
