Habitual prayer and devotion time can lead to great change. I remember a time I offered to pray for the world. I sent letters to cities all over the earth offering to pray for people, and I received hundreds of responses. When we pray fervently for others, there is a moment where we get closer to God than we’ve ever imagined—a brief encounter that affirms God’s reality and closeness.

Prayer
God, I love when I spend time with You. I imagine I can climb onto Your lap and spill out the names of people I want You to help, heal, or protect. I pray I will always respect Your time, be grateful for Your attention, and remember to pray for everyone I have promised to remember.

“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” —John 13:34-35 NLT
