We all need some extra "promptings" now and then don't we? We forget about an important meeting; we buy things we already have but can't find; or we forget about our anniversary. Yea, not good!
That's why in a world of distraction we need some reminders from time to time. Some things that will help us move toward the actions and mind of Christ.
About a year ago I had a preacher friend of mind teach me the value of prayer prompters—looking for visual reminders to help prompt me to pray. He challenged me whenever I see 333 remember Jeremiah 33:3 where God invites Jeremiah to call unto Him.
Look on gas station sign, license plates, credit card numbers etc. Wherever you are, stop what you are doing pray.
Since that time I have started to look for other things that prompt me to pray:
Of course, I don’t do all of these all the time but they certainly are great reminders to keep the conversation going with Jesus throughout my day. I think so often our prayer life consists within the boundaries of self-betterment and gain. Our prayers can be so shallow can’t they?
“Lord give us a good day today.”
“Lord bless us today and watch over us.”
“Lord, meet our needs today.”
These are all great things but specificity gives God the opportunity to be specific in His answer. And instead of always praying for personal things, I’ve learned that sometimes the greatest moves of God in my life are when I am interceding for someone else. I stop what I am doing to reach heaven about something specific in someone else’s life.
Intercessory prayer is a lost privilege to the Christian whose world revolves his own needs.
What are your prayer prompters? How can you intercede more often for others?
