It is important to have a prayer circle of friends and family in your life. There is a convicting quote that goes like this, 'what if we only received what we prayed for last night?' Yes, I know I need the prayers of others and I reap the benefits of them. I am better at praying for others rather than for myself. I'm not sure if that's doubt or surrendering to His will but it is probably a combination of both, even when I know all things are possible with Him.
There is power in numbers so share your trials and triumphs with others. We need others prayers as well as they need ours. Prayer changes people and that includes both sides of the request.
If you have ever prayed for me, even if it was just once or many times, I thank you and God who answered your prayer. My prayer circle benefits me daily.
