“Amen” I shook Rick’s hand, and noticed
his big smile. A few days later, facing a dif-
ferent AC problem, I called the repair com-
pany back to arrange another appointment
and told them how much I appreciated
their technician, Rick. The repair company
receptionist then said, “He enjoyed meet-
ing you and when he came back to the
shop from the appointment at your house,
the first thing he said was, “That guy had
prayer with me!”
I share this story for one reason. It is
not to suggest what a great witness for
Jesus I am. I don’t share it for any spiritual
bragging rights. There is no great outcome
I can claim as a result of this interaction,
but this one thing I re-learned that day and
believe to be true: Everyone wants our
prayers! I’ve never had anyone, including
strangers, turn down an invitation to be
prayed for. Rick reminded me there is a
vast human need to connect with God, and
to welcome the invitation of someone – you
or me - to bring them into the presence of
our Jesus. Ephesians 6:18 says, “And pray
in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds
of prayers and requests. With this in mind,
be alert and always keep on praying for
all the Lord’s people.” Why not be “on
the alert” this week, for the privilege of
praying with someone!
