He can use your obedience in powerful ways. God knows what those who you pray for need. Thank You for that, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.ĭo you struggle to pray because you don’t have the words? Jesus, I’ve allowed fear to get in the way of praying for others, even when there are people who long to feel Your presence. Instead, it’s about the very real connection that God longs to have with that person, and also with you. He knows who is standing at a distance, and whose hearts are ready to worship Him too.Īs He invites you to pray, it’s not about the words you say. He knows when a heart is receptive, or hurting, or wondering if anyone is aware of their pain. Yet the Holy Spirit knows when it’s the right time. When you and I feel the Holy Spirit drawing us to pray for someone, it’s natural to feel apprehensive about that. God used that time of prayer to reach those very people, showing them that He was real, drawing them closer to Him. It’s likely he was praying for the thousands that wandered in the wilderness. We don’t know what Moses was praying about. This is such a beautiful picture of the power of prayer. “Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent” (Exodus 33:10 NIV).

To be honest, I almost missed that beautiful moment. We were exhausted and overwhelmed, but in such a good way. When we finally left, it was dark outside. We prayed for each woman in that room, some of them twice as they came back for more. As I finished praying and opened my eyes, I found a crowd of women and girls pressed close, their cluster of faces totally expectant. As the words went up, the presence of God sweetly wrapped around us. I placed my hands gently in hers and started to pray. She asked the girl’s mother to come forward. “It’s always acceptable to pray,” she answered. “Is it okay if I pray for the young girl’s mother?” I whispered to one of the teachers. I lingered at the edge of the room, even as the team started to leave. I wasn’t sure how praying would be received, so I simply pulled her close, hoping she’d know that I cared.Īs we started to leave, I sensed the Holy Spirit. If we were in a church, I wouldn’t have hesitated, but we were guests in this community, in this culture, and in this classroom. She couldn’t afford a doctor, and she fell more ill each day. The interpreter told me that her mother was seriously sick. As one young woman spoke, she pointed at her mother, who stood in the back, and tears fell. I asked several women to share their names. Shy smiles broke language and cultural barriers. When the reading lesson was complete, we were introduced. A fan pushed the sweltering 110+ degree air between us as we sat on the floor. Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent.Ĭlick Here to Read Previous Messages from Girlfriends in God Devotional GIRLFRIENDS IN GOD – MESSAGE FOR TODAY The Topic of Girlfriends in God Daily devotional For 13th September 2022 is “How to Know if You Should Pray for Someone on the Spot ”.
