9 Days of 31 Five Minute Free Writes: JOIN


Join Hands

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20).

The first thing that comes to mind when I think about this word “join” is linking arms and joining in prayer.  So, will you join me in prayer today?

Pray for a young girl named Gabby and her family. She is an incredible God loving 16 year old who has cancer and she needs a miracle. You can find her story here.

Pray for a friend of mine who has also cancer. He has a few procedures and a follow up appointment this week.

October is a busy month according to the National Days Calendar. Would you join me and:

Pray for your pastor. October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Pastoring and shepherding is not for the faint of heart. It can take a lot out of you and there is an extra level of accountability there. They need our prayers.

Pray for your pastor’s spouse and his family. They are his support. And I’m sure there are many times they’ve scheduled their time around church activities.

Pray for our children. October is also National Bullying Prevention Month. Pray for these young hearts to cultivate kindness among each other. Pray for parents to have conversations about kindness and standing up for others.

Pray for those in abusive relationships. Domestic Violence Awareness Month falls on October. Domestic Violence isn’t just among married couples or adult couples. Some teens are also in abusive relationships and don’t even know it. Pray for adults and teens in abusive relationships. Pray for God to give them eyes to see the reality of their situation and the courage to leave. Pray for someone to come in to their lives to help them. 

Finally pray for eyes to REALLY see those around you. To love others boldly the way Jesus loved us.

So will you join me?
