Promptings

Promptings

Have you ever passed by someone while running errands or grocery shopping that reminded you of an old friend? Or perhaps you were driving and caught a glimpse of a license plate that made you think of a loved one? I like to think of seemingly random occurrences like these as divine promptings and invitations to pray. When a name or face suddenly pops into your mind, whisper a quick prayer like, “Lord, how can I be lifting up this particular person or situation?” God not only begins to work in answer to our requests, but also gives us wisdom for further action we may need to take. So, pay attention to those promptings. When God wants to move in a big way, He often starts with a little nudge. Now that’s something to pray about!
