Tired, hot, and thirsty I sat on the church patio. Several tables away a man was talking with friends.
He approached convinced I was sad and asked if he could pray for me. Sadness had not been an emotion present in me at the time but I told him, "I can always use prayer." Undoubtedly, a prayer warrior He called the Lord to action on my behalf. In that one prayer I trust my week is secure!
Reflecting, I really respect what he did. He had no way of knowing how I'd react. Although, he was off a bit on my current emotional state he took a bold act of care.
How often do I overlook pain in others because of my own insecurities? Is my comfort more important than their need? What would Jesus say?
Jesus might tell me,
"Get over yourself!"
Scripture is clear-every believer is
called to care for others.
Bearing Each Others' Burdens
- Galatians 6:1-5 -
How?
Is the Holy Spirit prompting you?
Putting someone on your heart?
*Follow His leading.
God appoints us as His ambassadors! What an honor!
Keep alert to those around you
Ask the Lord to show you who needs encouragement.
Reach out. You might start by saying,
"Hello, how is your day going?
What do you need prayer for this week?"
However you go about it-
Care Boldly!
