Now folks will tell you if you think of someone, the first thing you gotta do is get in touch with them. But the first thing gotta be prayer. Get in touch with God for them. Tell God how they made you feel and what you wanna see for their life.
--‘Aunt Babe’ (from the Bertice Berry novel entitled, “When Love Calls, You Better Answer”)
God places people on your mind for you to think on them and their life. Most of the time, we make a quick phone call to check-in on them; but, most of the time, we don’t have the time to make that phone call. And, while we all like to be thought of and checked on, I’m convinced each of us would better benefit from receiving a prayer. Because I am thinking of you at this moment, I’m sending you a quick prayer - “Jesus, touch my friend in the places s/he needs your touch and breath your abundance on his/her life. Guide my friend’s steps, and keep him/her safe and covered by your love and mercy.”
Imagine what the world would be like if every time someone came to mind, you sent a prayer to God on their behalf. My, what a wonderful feeling to sail through the day because you crossed someone’s mind and they prayed for you.
