Who's Got Your Back?

I'm running a little late with this morning's post, but sometimes God works in ways we don't expect. I had one of our Skipstone dads drop by for a few minutes this morning. We had a great time sharing with each other and talking about what God is up to in our lives. This guy continues to be one of the most consistent prayer warriors for Shondi and I and the ministry of Skipstone of anyone that I am aware of.

I pray that each person reading this has someone that you know is praying for you on a regular basis...it really is the fuel that keeps us going. I also pray that you make it a spiritual discipline to pray for others. It's amazing how much less we tend to focus on ourselves and on our problems when we are consistently praying for others.

James 5:16 (King James Version)
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

effectual, fervent..... probably not words that would describe most of my prayers!

Charles Spurgeon once said "There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed."

Lord help us to learn to pray.....

Have a BLESSED day and live for Jesus!

Whatever It Takes,
Chip
