I’m old and can’t do much, but I have more time and still have the ability to pray

The following is part of an article from http://thejenkinsinstitute.com/ 

 About 8 years ago I got an email from a 90 year old lady that changed my life.

Barbara is an unusual woman, I’ll write about her soon. About 8 years ago she wrote me and said “I know you preach a lot in a lot of places. I’m old and can’t do much, but I have more time and still have the ability to pray. If you will send me your speaking schedule each week, the specific times and places, while you are preaching I will be praying. I’ll pray for you and for your audience.” What a gift. This became a passion of hers. It became a responsibility for me and a powerful comfort.

You want to affect your preacher. Don’t just tell him you are praying for him. Be specific and consistent and let him know you are being both – often.

When you pray for your preacher you’ll make him a better preacher and help your relationship with him.

Send him an email, short text message, or hand write him a note. Let him know you are praying for him.
