There are times we believers lose our way. On top of being lost, we sometimes don’t want to admit to it. It’s important that we pray for one another for such a cause. Imagine being lost and in the dark, yet never doing anything to indicate where you are. No gps signal, no flares being sent up, just lost.
The same way you would put up missing posters and inquire to the police to find a missing person, is the way we should go to God consistently with our request to find our lost brothers and sisters. We should pray to the Father that He being omniscient (all knowing), show us how we should proceed in reaching those that are lost.
Have you ever tried to reach out to someone to help in some kind of way only to have your help or assistance thrown back in your face? God has to take the lead when reaching the lost. Love has to be 1st when search and rescue is attempted. If not, our deeds alone won’t amount to much.
To further understand what it is I’m saying read Genesis 18:23-33. Abraham interceded on the behalf of Lot (his nephew) and his family. Lot had no idea of the destruction that was about to happen to the city (Sodom), but because of the plea and request of Abraham God spared lot from the destruction.
Grab and go: Sometimes we can be so close to someone but so far from them at the same time (not understanding where they are). Let us continue to pray for another so that in dark times in each of our lives, when we may not have the strength to pray for ourselves, we can still rest assured that the prayers of the righteous our heard. James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
