Think back over your life. Think of the moments where things could have gone terribly wrong -an accident avoided by a split second, a door closing that would have broken your heart, a difficult season where somehow you found the strength to keep breathing.
We often call those things “luck,” or “timing,” or “coincidence.” Yet, behind the scenes, a quiet and faithful work was happening. A mother, a grandmother, a friend, or a faithful neighbor whispered your name into the quiet and placed you in the hands of God.
James 5:16 says, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
There’s a song by Crowder that captures the exact mystery. “I’m only right where I am today because somebody prayer.” Prayer is never wasted. Even when the words feel feeble, or when you fold your tired hands in the dark. God hears every word.
Remember this, if you ever feel alone -like no human being is currently lifting your name to heaven. Jesus is your advocate, living forever to intercede for you before the Father. Someone is always praying for you.
