A friend asked me this question on Facebook this morning...." How can I pray for you today?" And I could think of nothing to say back to her. Nothing! How can she pray for me?? I wonder why that question rendered me mute when not much else does. I swear I felt myself gulp as I tried to think of an answer. What do I need ? How can she cover me in prayer today? Wow. Um......??? I don't know if the silence in my head is a good thing or not. I honestly don't believe anyone has ever asked me that question before. It's kinda like that gift question, ya know? You can think of a million things that you want to buy for yourself and yet! when someone asks you what you want for your birthday or for Christmas you draw a complete blank. Well, that's me today. So instead of taxing my brain trying to think of something, I think that I will just say a prayer for her instead.
