My heart has been so burdened for people going through storms lately, but I feel the clouds lifting. I believe the storms are subsiding.

It’s so important to stand in the gap and pray for your friends. I know first hand how true this is. When I had covid I was literally so sick I couldn’t pray – but my friends prayed.

There are so many easier things to do besides interceding for others. Carrying a burden for someone else is no easy feat.

Playing on social media is mindless.

Netflixxing is entertaining.

Reading for pleasure is fun.

All of those things are fine, but not if God has placed a burden on your heart to pray for someone else. We’ve got to make some sacrifices – after all that’s exactly what Jesus did every single day He was here on this earth.

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 1 Timothy 2:1
