Today I did a little experiment and it was really a great exercise to do.

At the start of the day I sent the message out there to anyone who wanted to respond, send me one word that describes something I can pray for you about today!  I had a positive response from people.  And was interested to hear some of the words people requested prayer for.  Things like PEACE, WISDOM, SALVATIONS.

But the real privilege came when I sat down to pray for each of these women.   I love to pray for people and I often do this, but to sit and pray for the people in my world, and in my church, knowing something real and relevant they wanted prayer for – gave great clarity and power to what I prayed for them.

We should consider it a privilege to pray for each other.  The bible talks about praying for one another and loving one another.  And sometimes our worlds can get so inward focussed that to stop and think about someone elses world is important.

What a joy to pray for one another! 

Watch out next week for One Word Wednesday! (thanks Helen)
