Sometimes the best thing we can give one another, is the gift of prayer. Some things in life are out of our hands. We can’t be everyone’s hero at all times. However, God can. That is when we need to especially go to Him and pray for others, and let God, be God. We can do our best to offer our help in ways that we are able. Although, sometimes, that just means continued prayers. For God can do what we cannot. Friend, if a loved one is going through something out of your hands; go to God and pray. Trust that He hears your prayers and He will be faithful to listen. In His time and in His way. 

It is easy to be consumed with things that we cannot always control, with people that we care about. We must remember that God loves and cares for them more than we can imagine. We must not underestimate what God can do and the power of going to Him in prayer. Not only can praying help those in which we pray for, but we can find peace in prayer too. For in prayer, we know, that we are taking all of the heavy stuff and surrendering it to God; who can carry the load. God, that can heal anything that our loved ones may be going through. 

Prayer is a conversation with the truly greatest hero of them all. When a loved one is in need and we need a solution; may we remember to go to God in prayer. For God can truly do miraculous things!

Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
