I remember about a year ago I was on my way out to run errands, and I had asked God to use me that day to speak about Him to someone. While I was checking out at a store, the woman who was the cashier started to tell me all about how she had just lost her mother a few months ago and how sad she was.I knew without a doubt God had arranged for me to speak to her that day and give her some comfort. I told her about my prayer that day and that I believed I was placed there to give her comfort and she agreed that He did use me to do just that. This woman didn’t realize how much she had also comforted me. That brief conversation of sharing God’s love with each other helped me grow stronger in my faith.

I still think about that woman a year or more later and I still pray for God’s comfort to be poured into her. There are so many people I pray for that are strangers or acquaintances and it gives me comfort to think of all of the people who are also praying on my behalf that I am unaware of.

Prayer is a gift and a privilege, lift each other up
