Wow, Lisa–this is such a powerful post! Thanks for sharing from the heart, and I am thankful that even in the midst of us not always knowing what to say, not one uttered word in prayer goes unheard. Let us keep praying indeed! Thanks for linking with #BVN! 🙂

Great post on prayer. It does sometimes sound so empty as the words fall out of my mouth. Yet, I know how powerful prayer is. However, sometimes I forget to pray and then the guilt arises when they come to mind.

So what I always try to do is either write it down in my prayer journal or pray right there on the spot.

Thank you for sharing with Grace & Truth Christian Link-Up.

Prayer works.

And so does doing something, but sometimes there is nothing you can do– only what God can do.

This is a thought-provoking post, Lisa! When I look at what encourages me regarding prayer, it’s to know that people ARE praying for me, not that they say they are going to. So when friend texts or tells me in person that God brought me to her mind and she’s been praying for me, it makes a huge difference to me. Along those lines, when I tell a friend I will pray for her, I try to make it a point to ask her about the situation the next time I see or talk to her. This has led to some beautiful conversations and helped deepen friendships that were much more casual before. 🙂

Lisa, I appreciate your thoughts here. “I’ll pray for you” does sound kind of lame to my ears sometimes, yet I do say it. And like Julie above, I try not to say it unless I’ll really do it. Sometimes even praying in that moment.

But your idea to take one small step to help is priceless.Thank you.

Lisa, this is such a thought provoking post. I never want those words to seem trite nor something I say and not follow through on. I try to write the need down immediately so I remember not only to pray immediately, but then throughout the day. I am grateful for the reminder this morning that “prayer is doing something”. Even when I may not see or ever know the results, I know God is always responding, always doing. And may He always move my heart to action accordingly. Thank you for these words today!

Yes, keep praying regardless because God will work where we can’t see. And if we need to do something, too, then do it. That is where we’ll need to be led by the Spirit.
