Offense or defense?

What is your prayer posture?

For me, it all depends.

Sometimes there is an immediate need or situation I am praying for: healing from illness or injury, peace in the midst of a difficult circumstance, or protection when I know someone is in peril.

Other times, I am just praying much more generally for someone — in advance of any need I know about, but will surely come their way. In terms of my kids or grandkids it might be things that occur in their lives after I am no longer on this Earth.

It is easy to see that praying for others can take quite a bit of time. As we get older and spend less time doing and more time being, we may more easily find the time to pray.

But, we can also start today!

Do you have someone you can pray for through all of their upcoming life stages? I have my grandkids in mind. We have two 5 year olds and a 3 year old. They have a lot of life coming up and I am praying for them and all their upcoming life experiences.

Whose life are you covering in prayer?

  1. I’m praying for God’s kingdom in Taiwan and around the world. Physical, emotional and spiritual healing, eternal salvation. For our families and churches and schools. Yes, the needs are innumerable and overwhelming.

  2. Thanks, Liz I enjoy reading your posts. Lots to think about. Appreciate your thoughts as you express them in writing! A gift and some work to put them in writing. God Bless and keep you and your family, Deborah Leach
