5 Reasons You Should Have Praying Friends

I was overwhelmed by all the heartfelt messages from this community of loving women who expressed their love through messages and prayers in response to the article, “Encouragement for When your Hope is Fiercely Shaken”. Read it >>HERE<<

Every tears shed, every goodwill thoughts, prayers and messages, the Lord heard!

Thank all for the prayers and messages you reached deep to touch my heart. If the Lord permit I would be sharing all about the testimony in the nearest future.

Sisters, friends and fellow labourers in God's Kingdom from all over the world, your prayers was felt tremendously.

I tell you friends, God's Mercies prevails even in very hard times. 

From where I was seated, something bounced up in me….the courage to fight on, keep holding on, and keep pressing on!

At this point, I see more reasons to have praying friends around me and to be a praying friend myself.


Why do you need praying friends?
àThere are life battles we just can’t fight alone. There are life’s battle that require chasing the thousands or even millions.  (Ecclesiastes 4:9)

àYou prevail when you pray in agreement with other faith-filled believers. When we pray with faith in the midst of battle, God hears us.
This last few days I have learnt that a miracle can happen even with the little child who says a simple prayer. (Matthew 18:19)

àTo find support in weakness. No matter how strong we are there are days when we become overwhelmed by difficulties-- weak days that could shake your faith. (Proverbs 27:17)

àHeads Up on Impending danger. Yes, the Lord reveals secrets...remember Apostle Paul's friends who warned him of the persecutions awaiting him in Jerusalem. (Acts 21: 4, 10-12

àLoneliness is depressing. A classical friendship I love so much is that between Naomi and Ruth. I presume if Ruth left Naomi in her misery, Naomi would probably end up wretched and abandoned. 

But that young woman’s decision to hold her hand in the darkest time of Naomi’s life was the miracle Naomi had!

Life's journey is easier when you don't walk alone.
Gal, you and I need praying friends in our lives.
You never know the day the storm would blow hard, the winds would become treacherous or the day you would be in need of shelter.

Yes, I know you can pray alone but take a closer look at the scriptures below...how many life battles can you really fight alone? heh?

And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
 Leviticus 26:8

and

How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the Lord had given them up? 
Deuteronomy 32:30 NIV
Aha!

Now you see my point!


It is time to ask the Lord to bring praying friends into your life as you also make that decision to pray for others other than you and yours.
