PRAYER S.O.S

“Friends, please help. I need a prayer support. I will face a big problem tomorrow”. That was what my friend text me. A prayer S.O.S. And I replied, “Ok, I’ll pray for you & hope the problem will be solved”. End of message. After that, I went back to my job. Did I really take the time to pray? Nope. Did I pause for a few minutes just to take some times to pray for my friend whom maybe really desperate at that moment? Nope, No, Zero. Then, what did I do? I just memorized myself to take time to pray but in the end I still forgot about it. The next day my friend text me again, “Thanks a lot for your prayer support, the problem is solved. GBU”. God bless me? Hey, I don’t deserve that, I didn’t do the prayer. I was too lazy to pray for my friend. God said if two or more person gathered to pray in His name then the prayer will be answered. And when my friend asked me to be that second or maybe third or maybe fourth person, I didn’t do my part. I arrogantly believe that God will answer my friend’s prayer even if I didn’t join the prayer. Stupid me, off course God will answer! But what if we change the situation? I become the person in need. I must be really hoped that my friends will pray for me. So that means, what my friend really needed is not the prayer but the SUPPORT!
It always takes two to tango, it always needs four bars of stakes to make a chair stand, and it always needs friends & family to give us support. I knew then that we will pray better when we know that someone is behind our back.
To my friend J, I am so sorry…
