Prayer Partner

Here is a real simple question for all you leaders. Well, it is one simple question asked in a few forms.

Who is praying for you?  I mean really praying?  Praying for you often . . . maybe even daily?  Who believes God has called them to be an intercessor for your well being?  Who loves you so much that they will not stop praying for you?

Even Jesus needed people to pray for him. That is why he asked the disciples to "watch" with him while he was in the garden.

Okay, that is one simple question. Was it easy to answer?  (or)  Was it easy to answer yes to this question?

Here are a few more questions:

• Do you think you need a prayer partner who prays for you in this way?
• What would be the benefit of having this?
• Are there are repercussions if you don't have this kind of prayer support?

Now - really - what do you think about the bulleted questions?

For any of us (and I include myself in this category) of driven, self-sufficient, indepent-minded leaders who are used to working hard to get results -- we need to be pretty ruthless about these questions and say what we really think.

We live in a supernatural world where life is far more than what we see and do with our own hands. The presence of God is a supernatural reality and prayer is the language of that realm.

We need to pray and we need prayed for.

Final question:  If you don't have that kind of person in your life - is there anyone who you could invite into that role?
