Hey, Pray!

Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12

Reading along with the story the characters come to a trap, crisis, problem, or challenge of unusual proportions, and we marvel that they do not have a better solution. Easily do we call upon those fictional people to pray to God and call upon His name. Instead they waste time worrying, fretting, arguing, fighting, and running about like those proverbial headless birds. Then life comes a calling to you or me, and we... worry, fret, argue and so on. How is it so easy for us to see the need when it is there on the book page and then be so dense when it is our turn? We need a 'Hey, pray!' from a fellow soldier in Christ, a little intervention from the beloved of our Lord. It happens to the least of us, we get caught up in the problem and forget to call on the One who has the solutions. New believers or well-experienced warriors in the challenges of following Jesus our Lord, each may suffer that temporary amnesia for prayer and supplication with thanksgiving.

Therefore, be on the lookout for your brothers and sisters in Christ, and give them a 'Hey, pray!' when the need comes.
