Prayer, its necessary

A good friend, a trusted older sister in Christ once told me that sometimes God doesn't call us to the physical front line of action but through prayer to the spiritual front line fighting for those who are more visible in their walk with Him. Moses held his hands up to help the Israelites win their war. When his arms rested, they lost, when they were up, the were winning. Moses interceded for the soldiers on the front line and Moses had two men helping hold his arms up. I think that is a good example of how we can support each other as we all work to walk in God's will. Prayer is the key. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against what is unseen, against Satan, against the power of darkness and the principalities of this world.

I have some prayers for the ministry, Restoring the Foundation that I lean on to help me hold my hands up against Satan and his evil forces. I also have prayers from Stormie O'Martian; Power of a Praying Woman and Power of a Praying Wife. Good books because sometimes I just don't have the words, my spirit is willing but weak. My brain gets consumed by my day to day responsibilities and I just can't hold up my hands in prayer. I need help.

Anyway, that is just something I was thinking about. There is another great blogger I've been following in her ministry. I want to pray for her. After all, when I worked advocating for foster children and sat with young women contemplating their crisis pregnancies, it was the intercessary prayer warriors that kept me going. Now its my turn to give a little prayer back.
