Prayer Works...

sometimes it can be easy to say that prayer works and to not really ever process what that actually means, but today i was reminded of specfically what that actually means...

back before the school year started, we did a prayer walk around campus where we prayed for different parts of the campus and that God would have a presence in those places. as i was walking, i walked past the football stadium, the team was practicing and i was led to pray for the team and specifically to pray that God would bring someone onto the team that would be a light and that would represent Christ to those guys.

in our intern meeting today, one of our interns shared about how he is really excited about a guy in his small group, evan, who is on the football team and is really growing in his faith a lot and who is wanting to lead a small group next year with guys from the football team. and this intern reminded me about how he has not forgotten about how i shared at the beginning of the year that i had prayed for the football team...

it was a super cool reminder of the fact that prayer works and that prayer is a big deal and that God is doing things all around us if we will simply stop and see it.
