Praying For Your Friends

Praying For Your Friends

In a 1954 letter from C. S. Lewis to his friend, Sheldon Vanauken, Lewis wrote this: “It is a sweet duty, praying for our friends. I always feel as if I had had a brief meeting with you when I do so: perhaps it is a meeting, and the best kind.” I just love that thought. When we take a brief moment to pray for those who are dear to us, it’s like a divine moment together in the presence of God. So let this be your reminder today to lift up a special friend in your life. Just as Jesus told His disciples they were His friends, and prayed for them often, may we do so in like manner. As C. S. Lewis said, it’s a sweet duty; the best kind of meeting. Now that’s something to pray about!
