Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this - always obey such an impulse. –Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Have you ever had the urge to pray for someone and you tried to ignore it? Did the urge to pray just go away? Or, did you have to pray to relieve your conscience? It has happened to me. I never find out why I feel such an impulse to pray, but I figure that I am doing what God wants me to do. It’s just amazing that God thinks so highly of me that He would encourage me to pray for someone. Jesus instructs us in the Bible to prayer for others.
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16
While I was writing this entry, I got the impulse to pray for my sister. But, I wanted to finish this entry first. With the second impulse, I decided to stop and say a prayer for her. (Interesting timing for a prayer impulse to happen)
