Pray Without Ceasing

These past weeks I been endlessly praying and asking GOD to have HIS way. The more I pray I notice the little things GOD can do in only a matter of time. I was on my knees, first giving the lord complete adoration and then allowing him to move freely. As I was praying three two young women came to my mind and one older women. One week before that three other people came to me mind, two older women and a young man. I don't know their circumstances wholly, every little thing they been through, or even if they have common circumstances. All I knew was that the lord layed them on my heart and I just prayed for them hard. 

*A thought came to my mind about when I first started out and I was lost, hopeless, and suicidal. I had no idea if anyone knew my circumstance. I literally felt like no one can help and the only escape would be suicide...

A few months ago I was talking to one of the women God placed in my life. We were laughing, joking, and telling stories. Somehow the conversation led to how we met. I really didn't remember, but she reminded me. She said, "I was sitting with ______ and I looked over and seen your arm. I said "Jesus" and I prayed hard." (These might not be the actual words, but you get the point) Now this was before this women knew me. She didn't know why I cut my arm, or what I went through in my everyday life.The fact that she said she prayed for me was so deep. That moment sort of changed my mindset. These people that GOD brings to my mind need him just like I NEED him. I can be selfish and just pray for myself or my circumstance, but the lord is just showing me that the people that he lays on my heart have a purpose just like I.

The Lord has been showing me that I can't selfishly always think about myself when praying. I'm always like Lord can you do this for me? But, I fail to remember that other people are in need as well. When I can sincerely lift others up in prayer, I feel lighter. One thing I will never forget is how others prayers got me where I am today.
