TODAY’S TOPIC: OVER 150 NAMES

TODAY’S READING
James 5:13-16
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
My spare moments offer opportunities to pray for others.
Jesus said, “I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail.” – Luke 22:32 (NIV)
Some years ago after retiring as a pastor, I started to make a list of people to pray for. I couldn’t remember the increasing number of names I was concerned about, so I used my computer to record the names — to refresh my memory. I found that new names needed to be added constantly, and that the names of those who had recovered could be removed after a prayer of thanksgiving. Finally, I ended up with an active list of over 150 names, which I still update regularly.
I carry my list with me all the time. When I wake up during the night, I spend time praying for those whose circumstances seem to be a priority. With my list close at hand, I can pray for people at any time of day. And I have found that praying for other people who need God’s healing helps to take my mind off my own concerns. Sometimes I tell people, “You’re on my prayer list.” And often they seem strengthened just knowing someone is praying for them.
