Prayer Vocation

Prayer Vocation

When Joshua was a young man, before he succeeded Moses, the Old Testament Scriptures mention that “he did not depart from the tabernacle” (Exodus 33:11). In the New Testament, we read of an older woman named Anna who “did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day” (Luke 2:37). Like Joshua, God calls some to a focused season of prayer to prepare for future leadership. Like Anna, others are called to prayer-related ministry as a part-time or full-time vocation. Be sure to encourage and invest in those who sense this calling either as a short season or long career. Your support may help the next great leader find their way, or strengthen a prayer warrior with the necessary resolve to stay the course of their calling. Now that’s something to pray about!
