Praying for everywhere...

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him. (1 John 5:14-15).

It seems as though we're praying for 'everywhere'. Spin a globe and stop it with your finger and it's certain to need prayer.

At times like this the need is so overwhelming it might seem that an individual's prayer might not much have much influence. That, of course, isn't true. Even when large crowds gather to pray, God hears each prayer, not just a din.

Pray as the Spirit moves you. Depending on the nature of the prayer, you may never know it's ultimate impact, but that isn't the point, is it. It's not about batting average: each prayer, from the heart, touches the heart of God.

Hint: Keeping a prayer journal is a vital way to remember what you prayed for, when you prayed, and the tangible answers you receive. Very encouraging!
