Have you ever been in a situation where you could feel others praying for you?  Well I certainly have, and I can tell you it is the most comforting feeling to know that others are praying on your behalf.  I am blessed to have some sisters in Christ who will storm the gates of heaven on my behalf, and they know that I will do the same for them.
 What I really love about these sisters is, if they tell me that they are going to pray on my behalf not only do they do so, but they will call me back and check to see if my prayer has been answered and if so how.
God knew exactly how much we would need others to be His hands and feet to stand in the gap for Him.   If you don’t have someone that you can freely ask to pray for you, or a church family praying for you, I strongly suggest that you get plugged into a family of believers who will be happy to lift you up in prayer. When life starts to throw those inevitable curve balls you will have the support that you need to carry you through your difficult season.
I also suggest that your personal prayer life be strong and frequent, like daily.  This way you are not only prepared to talk with God on your own behalf, but for others also in their time of need.  The power of prayer is an amazing thing.  Praying to God is also an amazing blessing we get to experience as Christians.

Never underestimate what God can do with the simplest of heartfelt prayers.  Oh how blessed we are that He hears every single one of our prayers!

19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 For where two or three gather together as my followers,[a] I am there among them.”
James 5:14-16
14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
Romans 15:5-6
5 May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:1
This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.I am writing to God’s church in Corinth and to all of his holy people throughout Greece.[a]
Acts 1:14
14 They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus.
