I found this poem on a friend's blog...and decided I should post it as well. Sometimes we are the ones that are weak; sometimes we are the ones stronger...in either case, we should know it's time to pray.
Pray One for Another
by Marianne Farningham
I cannot tell
why there should come to me
A thought of
someone miles and miles away,
In swift
insistence on the memory—
Unless there
be a need that I should pray.
Too hurried
oft are we to spare a thought,
For days
together, of some friend away;
Perhaps God
does it for us, and we ought
To read His
signal as a call to pray.
Perhaps, just
then, my friend has fiercer fight,
Some
overwhelming sorrow or decay
Of courage;
darkness, some lost sense of right;
And so in case
he needs my prayer, I pray.
Friend, do
the same for me! If I
unsought
Intrude upon
you on some crowded day,
Give me a
moment’s prayer, in passing thought;
Be very sure I
need it; therefore pray.
I've heard about doing that..praying for someone who comes across your mind. Never hurts to pray just in case! We are to be building each other up :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so true, Rachel! And we can always use more prayer! I like to pray whenever I hear a police, fire or ambulance siren, too. There just seems like certain times we can breathe a small but heartfelt prayer. Thanks for commenting!
