*Becoming God's Answer to Someone's Prayer
We often pray for God to move in the world around us, yet we forget that He frequently chooses to move through people. Every opportunity to serve may be an opportunity to become God's answer to someone else's prayer.
Somewhere, someone is praying for encouragement. Someone is asking God for strength to continue. Someone is crying out for provision, comfort, wisdom, or hope. God hears those prayers and many times He responds by sending one of His children.
God invites us to participate in His work. He could do everything Himself, yet He chooses to work through willing hearts and available hands. The smile you offer, the prayer you pray, the meal you provide, the word you speak, or the time you give may carry far more spiritual significance than you realize.
Isaiah 6:8 says, "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'"
God is still asking that question today. He is looking for believers who will make themselves available. Not necessarily the most gifted, but the most willing. Not necessarily those with the greatest resources, but those with the greatest surrender.
When we begin to see every day as an opportunity to partner with God, our perspective changes. We stop asking, "What can I get?" and start asking, "Who can I bless?" We stop looking for significance and start becoming significant in the lives of others.
SO...
Start your day with a simple prayer: "Lord, make me an answer to someone's prayer today." Then keep your heart open and your eyes attentive. Look for opportunities to encourage, serve, give, or pray. As you do, you will discover the joy of being used by God and the privilege of carrying His love into someone's moment of need.
