Prayer Requests

Yesterday my son had "issues". Everyone has issues these days. Instead of life getting easier it seems that it just piles up on you sometimes. The great thing is that when he has issues, he asks me to pray for him. But the even better thing is that praying for him relieves me of having to come up with an answer for him.

Have you ever spent long hours trying to figure out what you need to do or say to to answer someone's question with your wisdom? I spend a long time thinking up what to say to someone and how. When I remember to pray about it I remember that it's not my job to have all of the answers. That belongs to the Holy Spirit. He gets to speak the truths that make life changes.

So I guess when someone asks you for prayer it's really a good way to get you out of having to say too much. Just be quiet, pray and let the Lord do the speaking.
