Jimbo's Jots

Recently I prayed with a client as we finished our session. This is someone that I am comfortable offering a prayer over the family. In spite of the circumstances revealed in the session, it was received with great appreciation.

Crowder’s newest release is Someone Prayed (https://youtu.be/GVITQPGlI30?si=e6AtSECgVRUa_GfH). Here are some of the lyrics that I have been mindful of over the past couple weeks.

Every night there by your bed
You fold your hands and bow your head
Throwing out another prayer in faith
When you’re wondering if He’s hearing you
Look at me, I’m living proof
I’m only right where I am today
Because somebody prayed

So I hit my knees ’cause I’ve seen all heaven move
(Don’t matter if you hit rock bottom)
(My God pick you up when you call Him)
I pray, “Father, please” ’cause I’ve seen what He can do
(Don’t matter if the storm cloud coming)
(My God come through when you call Him)
These hands have no power
But there ain’t an hour He don’t come through
That’s why when mountains move, I say
“Looks like somebody prayed”

And my favorite:

I’ve seen miracles come from feeble words
I’ve seen hospital rooms turned into cathedrals
I’ve seen freedom come to the prisoner
You can’t tell me that prayer don’t work

So every night there by your bed
When you fold your hands and bow your head
Not a single word you’ve ever said in vain
‘Cause He hears everything

Over the past couple of weeks we have talked about unexpected blessings and unexpected blessers. I’m convinced that God continues to move in the lives of people today. He is still moving because somebody prayed. You can be a blessing by offering prayer on behalf of others. In doing so, invite unexpected blessings that are returned to you. Remember the words of Jesus, “Ask and it will be given to you.” (Luke 11:9) And also remember the words of Paul, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” (Ephesians 3:20)

Be blessed because somebody prayed! Be a blessing to others because you prayed!
