| A blast from the past - Jeju, 2007 |
A friend of mine messaged me today after finding out that I will be going to Mexico this summer. I told him that I'm excited but nervous at the same time, and that I would appreciate a lot of prayers from him. I thought the conversation was gonna end there with him saying "I will keep you in my prayers." I was wrong. He asked me if I have something more specific requests. Then I realized that I normally get two responses when I ask people to pray for me. One is "I will" and the other is "anything specific?" It also made me consider how I respond to others when asked to pray for them. I think I was more of the first type than the latter type. I certainly appreciate both answers but I realized how much difference it makes when you share specific prayer requests. I'm not saying it's always the best to pray for someone with something specific in mind. And I definitely don't mean that you shouldn't pray for someone unless you know what to pray for them. For me, some people pop up in my mind when I pray and I don't necessarily know what they have been praying about. It's not gonna stop me from praying for them. I know that there is a reason that I thought of them while I was praying.
I want to be able to ask the question "anything specific?" the next time someone asks me to pray for them.
