The power just went out and back on so attempt #2.
The next suggestion I just came up with in the interum; which I think is important and bears further investigation. That is learning when to share something with other believers and when not to; and of course that can involve our own situation or that of others. The obvious warning here is to avoid discussing ANY issue that is told in confidence OR someone has not made it CLEAR that they don't mind others praying about an issue. There are times of course when a person's life is in danger; but ordinarily there is enough anonymous sites such as this one where needs can be brought up and of course we can pray on our own.
Nonetheless the Lord is present when two or more gather in His Name. (See Matthew 18:19-20). I didn't even realize this related directly to prayer I should have. Insight is valuable from others again possibly to the person being prayed about; but different ways of thinking can be helpful as well.
Suggestion #4 Pray what the Spirit leads you to pray about. Someone ill may have a spiritual issue affecting them; someone who wants something may have other issues that need to be addressed. Again some of this stuff should be on our own time but we should expect that God will chastise everyone He loves. I don't have the guts to pray for God to chastize me but can guarantee 100 percent He will answer that. Maybe some here are up for the challenge..
Suggestion #5 Just realized this; we need to be open to criticism from others in the faith and suggestions. Some things of course are just plain wrong and can be delivered in a very insensitive way. We need if we are to help others to be able to accept correction ourselves.
SUggestion #6 I just thought of this as well but it seems true; don't discount prayers of a new believer. A child like faith often seems to be missing or hidden from those who are seasoned in the faith. BE SOLD OUT NOT OLD
