Somebody Prayed for Me

Somebody Prayed for Me

When my heart was so broken'
That I could not pray,
When love wasn't easy to see.
Someone was there,
Somebody cared...
Somebody prayed for me.

Somebody went to the Throne of Heaven,
Somebody lifted my name,
Bringing me into His Holy presence.
Saying what I could not say,
Somebody showed me the face of His mercy,
When darkness was all I could see.
Somebody pleaded the blood of Jesus, Somebody prayed for me.

The choir sang this song at church this morning. This was not the first time I had heard it, but as I sat and listened to the above lyric, I began to think about all of the people who have entered my life and prayed for me at the times when I needed them the most. Some of those people are still in my life on a regular basis and others are not, but whether I ever see them again doesn't really matter. What does matter is the impact that they have had on my life and that will not be forgotten.

Then I began to think about where I would be without those people in my life. Without them, I don't know that I would be in seminary right now and I may have turned my back on the church a long time ago, BUT they were there. They helped me through and prayed for me. Who can I pray for today? How can I help somebody else see that God has a plan and a purpose for their life and they shouldn't give up no matter how hard it gets? 

So my question to you is how can I pray for you today and in the coming weeks and months?
