I messaged those verses to Jonathan and not long afterward he replied thanking me. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” As I prayed for his healing, God led me to Psalm 61:1–2. Recently my friend Jonathan became very ill on a trip overseas. It’s my way of acknowledging that I need God to show up in ways I never can, working on my friend’s heart and mind and speaking to his spirit. The prayer I pray is in itself an act of faith. Prayer is something much bigger than hopeful thinking or effort on my part. I begin wondering if the friend I’m praying for is experiencing the love of God in new ways. What happens in my life when I pray is that my love, concern, curiosity and engagement with others goes way up. What happens when you begin praying for a friend, neighbor or co-worker on a regular basis? Are the effects more visible in that person’s life or in yours?
