Following @Worldprayr

It was a Friday, and I was on a 2 week break from work. My daughter was visiting her father. Once again, I found myself alone for a very long weekend. I had recently created a Twitter account, so I was exploring “Tweetville”. This was the day I discovered that in Twitterland” days had themes. Everyone was tweeting about #FollowFriday; how very exciting I thought. “Wow” I said to myself: Look at all these long lists! I want to be on a list, I thought… Ah, follow Friday! WOW! And that was it: I was sucked into the world of tweeting, following and followers.
I was experiencing my very first Follow Friday, when I noticed tweets from @Worldprayr Oh how very nice, I thought, as I read the prayer and prayed. I went along my way seeing more lists of people and wondering to myself, how do I get on these lists, when again I saw another prayer request tweet. I went along this path for about five or ten more minutes; suddenly, one request after another started coming! There was a virtual frenzy of prayer requests! How anyone can pray for all these requests? I thought. I kept reading them, but as the pace was so quick, I couldn’t stop and contemplate. My next thought came from somewhere outside myself; it went something like this: just “unfolllow” this @Worldprayr , they are cluttering everything thing up anyway. I know it was a prompting that came from outside of my spirit was the next thought I had; and, that thought was pulling me back to the requests. It went like this: just pray as you read; let your reading be a prayer in itself. And, so it went. That was one of those moments when a decision defines a new direction in one’s life. Jesus taught a lot about prayer. I love it that he sometimes compares good and evil as he did with this teaching found in the book of Luke 18: 6-8 NLT:
6 Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this evil judge. 7 Even he rendered a just decision in the end, so don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who plead with him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when I, the Son of Man, return, how many will I find who have faith?”
So, here we have it! Sometimes even the Father moves quickly in response to our requests. What would have happened if I had uncluttered my Twitter timeline by deleting @Worldprayr? Well, I am not sure. However there is one thing I am very sure of; I am in the perfect will of God agreeing for others with prayers, and I am tremendously blessed when I pray for and encourage others.
