Matthew 18:19-20 “When two
of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, My
Father in heaven goes into action. And
when two or three of you are together because of Me, you can be sure that I’ll
be there.”
I enjoy having private time with Jesus. I pray, I chuckle, and sometimes I cry. I pour my heart out, and I listen, and God
knows I try to apply whatever lesson He is teaching me.
But there’s something to be said about praying
with at least one other person. I have
prayed countless times with other people – most of the times with just one,
sometimes with over 100. And in every
single instance, I have felt my faith strengthen. If you have ever prayed with me than you know
I like to say, “Thank you for joining your faith to mine. Our faith together is stronger than my faith
on its own!”
The verse above is part of the reason why. It’s not that I am unsure of God’s presence
when I pray alone. But rather, I have no
doubt that when my prayer partners and I get together because of Him, He is
right there watching over us, directing us, and blessing us.
Whenever we need the reassurance that Jesus will
show up, the best thing to do is find someone who will pray with us. Someone who is our friend, a kindred spirit
who loves the Lord, who is fighting for the same thing, who is looking forward
to the same victory, someone who shares in our concerns and worries and
vice/versa. God honors these types of
praying relationships, and it doesn’t take much to get one started.
It humbles me when people thank me for praying
with them. I am the one who is
thankful. I am the one who has been
blessed and receiving answers because someone took the time to join with me in
talking to the Lord.
Do you want and need more of Jesus in your life?
Find a buddy and pray!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for Your promise of
being with us when we get together in Your name. We need You.
Bless us, help us, guide us, and protect us. In Jesus’ name, AMEN~
