Day 17: Love Sends a Text (or something like it)

When I married Brent, I hit the “In-Law” lottery. I really did. I heart all of Brent’s family.

My sister-in-law, Erin, is married to Brent’s twin brother. She is amazing. I could list one hundred reasons why she is wonderful, but today I will list only one.

She let’s me know when she is praying.

It is not uncommon to get an early morning text from her saying, “Praying for you this morning! Tell those boys we love them.”

Mmm. It feels so good to be on some one’s heart.

I also received a message from one of my dearest and best two nights ago. She lives in Florida. Her message said, “Hey, the Lord has brought you to mind like crazy. So I’ve been praying for you. I am wondering what is going on. Call me back!” {Feli! I plan to call you today!}

Doesn’t the Lord do this? Bring people to mind? And nine times out of ten…it is not happenstance. It is for a reason. An unction from the Holy Spirit to PRAY for them.

But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. Luke 22:32

Jesus, in this memorable passage of scripture, tells Simon Peter, Hey,I’ve been praying for you. I can only imagine how Jesus’ words made Peter feel…the Son of God praying for him. Amazing.

And you know what…He prays for you, too – Romans 8:26.

Day Seventeen: Love Sends a Text (or something like it)Today, let someone know you’ve been praying for them.Tell them. Text them. Call them. Email. Facebook. Tweet them.Hand them a card. {Golly geez, we’re so connected.} Let that person know that the Lord has them on your heart. How special, is that!? It will bless them, guaranteed.

Do you have a cool story of someone praying for you, right when you needed it?
