Prayer Meeting


Tonight, I went to a prayer meeting. As I have written before, I believe prayer changes things. It changes things because it changes me. What I experienced tonight might have been an answer to a prayer, or just a special blessing, I am not sure. An older gentleman started praying. This prayer wasn’t especially special, but this prayer was prayed by a man who had experience- he had done this before, perhaps a million times. This prayer was full of wisdom. It was like a comforting blanket for my soul. It touched my heart so much it brought tears to my eyes. Oh, to be able to pray a prayer like that.

This kind of prayer comes from a depth of character and experience. It reminds me to keep trudging on. It reminds me that there is more in store than what I see with my eyes. It reminds me to keep praying….to keep on keepin’ on.

I don’t know what you are going through right now. There is a lot of heart ache out there and I am sorry if you are going through some right now. I encourage you to go to your Heavenly Father. To continue to build that strength of character and perseverance that this gentleman has. Someday it might be you praying a prayer full of comfort and wisdom and encouraging someone else to keep on keepin’ on. Maybe you want to join us for our next prayer meeting?



James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
