A beautiful evening. Christ lovers sitting together in a circle. Anxious to lift up each other's needs. Heart heavy words filled the air. Agreement falling upon everyone nodding. Yes Lord, Yes!
Honestly, I was disappointed. I wanted a few more friends to have joined me ... definitely not the older women who arrived first. Always punctual. Yet their gracious wisdom quickly silenced my selfish desires.
Hungry we wanted to hear more requests. Eager we wanted to fill the room with praises. Refreshed we parted smiling. Hugging.
I wondered aloud, alone, on the ride home "why do you not host a prayer night .. maybe monthly"? Too busy. Always the response is too busy. Surely they just need one taste of a night like that. I need one more taste! Keep the cheesecake cooled, give me a night in prayer. Unplug the coffee pot and recharge my prayer life.
Let it be so - "let my house be called a house of prayer"! Mark 11:17
