For the someone, somewhere, somehow....

As we come into this Lenten season, many of us are making efforts to pray more often and deepen our relationship with God. I've gotten quite a few emails lately from listeners regarding prayer. Prayer can be hard. We don't always know what to say, and it is easy for our mind to wander. One thing I always like to do in prayer is my "someone, somewhere" prayers. For example:

-For the someone, somewhere, who is suffering starvation today
-For the someone, somewhere, who is sick and alone
-For the someone, somewhere, who does not feel loved
-For the someone, somewhere, who is considering an abortion and needs Christ's light
-For the someone, somewhere, who is suffering domestic violence
-For the someone, somewhere, who does not know Jesus
-For the someone, somewhere, who feels pressure to do what they know is wrong
-For the someone, somewhere, who does not feel like life is worth living
-For the someone, somewhere, who needs this prayer right now

My someone, somewhere prayers are usually short, but they really mean a lot to me. We take so much for granted, and there is so much that we can't even imagine going through. Plus, its always nice to know that someone, somewhere prays for you and cares about you. Just think about adding that to your prayers this Lenten season.

Blessings for the week,
Avery
