Praying #together

Dear friends and supporters of CCI around the world,

The opportunity recently to have a few days away with my family gave me pause to think on the subject of 'prayer'. As a global family there is often so much to pray for. Camps are starting, boards are meeting and major conferences are underway. Some parts of the world are faced with massive persecution and are completely “below the radar”, some are struggling financially, some have serious health challenges and others are experiencing crisis with forest fires, floods and threats of avalanches.

It can sometimes be a bit overwhelming about who and how to pray and I have been pondering how I should respond to this. My conclusion is simple. Whenever I hear about a matter for prayer I take a moment to pray then and there. I may be on a train, waiting at an airport or sitting in my study, wherever I am, I lift that matter to the Throne of Grace then and there. It is just so easy to forget or to end up with such a long list that I don’t have the time or the memory to follow it all up with the Lord in my quiet time. I also know how easy it is to say “I’ll pray for you” and then forget.

That has helped me over recent months and I pray (now!) that this will be an encouragement to you to pray then and there as you hear about matters for prayer as we support each other #together.

With warmest best wishes.

Mark Heasman
