Here’s a thought that came to me today during my morning reading. ‘Pray a thought of God,’ to those on my prayer list. It sounds rather vague but that’s the strength of it. In fact, it feels like another version of praying Jesus walking along side of people.
Here’s how this one goes. Currently there is someone on my prayer list that I’m worried about. He is floundering-- lonely, no job, distant. I don’t know the details, nor is it my business find out (I’m not his therapist and wouldn’t want to be), but his attitude of depression worries me. I believe that God wants him, along with everyone else, to be in the God’s Kingdom on earth. But how do I pray for him without getting into judgments about the particulars of what God should do, or what he should do?
Thankfully, this morning this God thought of praying for a God thought to come to my friend came to me. It’s enough for me to do: my friend will know what to do; God will know what to do.
