When times are at their worst, people often find themselves alone. Standing with a brother throughout a trial is a vital part of our calling. The responsibility to carry one another’s burdens should not be taken lightly and the admonition to pray for each other is not limited to friends and family.
As we age, the risk increases that we will be injured in a fall. The best way to combat this danger is to strengthen our bodies. But know that our spiritual health requires the same vigilance, for it is vulnerable to the same threats and a fall from grace will produce more dire consequences.
We have no problem praying for help with the big things in life, but we can feel reluctant asking God about matters that seem a bit insignificant. Does God get bothered when we pray about the little things?
Through prayer, God makes Himself available to every person who calls upon His name. Do we fully realize or utilize the potential of this powerful gift?
