Dear God,

Do the lines of prayer connect us all together?  If we had the ability to see the invisble lines of prayer around the planet, what would we see?  Would there be so many lines that we could hardly see the globe or very few?  Does prayer connect us together?

Early this morning my prayer began with the earth's suffering people.  As I prayed, I wondered how the prayer would connect us to one another.  I thought about prayer's power to link people together.  I felt responsible to pray for those whose living is a challenge.  I thought about your nudge to pray, your guidance to be specific in who I prayed for.

What is the real value of prayer? 

Lead me
to pray,
Living Lord;
lead me
to pray.
Keep me praying
for all those
in need.
Remind me
that each
and every one
is family.

Love, Andrea
