"PRAY FOR ME"

To those of you that walk in CHRIST, have you ever noticed that when some people discover that you are a man or woman of GOD they tend to ask you to PRAY for them? What? Do they think that THE LORD OF HOST owes you a favor or that you are straight-line connected? Not that it angers me for I WILL PRAY for them regardless. I just wonder why they ask me to do it when it is such a simple task. It's not like we have to move a boulder out of they way or swim the English channel. I find it especially strange in my industry (construction) for some of the men I work with and around to ask me to go to my knees for them. After all, most of this industry's workforce are lifting, tugging, pulling and, you guessed it, hitting their knees to do the work of THE MAN. Is it really that hard to just PRAY? Prayer takes a little practice I have found. I know Rabbi, I need to word that differently. 1. One has to be careful what one ask for in prayer (don't be ridiculous "Lord let me win the lottery". 2. THE FATHER already knows what you want. 3. Always...Always Thank GOD for your blessings. 4. Now is the time to repent and ask forgiveness. 5. Be specific. 6. He will answer if you are faithful. 7. Don't ramble and babble, he is GOD and does not need you to explain it to him. I'm not griping about prayer folks. I just believe that if you believe in the power of prayer then pray. Asking someone to pray for you is not a bad thing. Just join them in your prayer. Don't ask them to do all the work for you. God loves to hear your voice. Shalom Amen
