Brought to Him by Prayer

Does someone come to your mind that you've not thought of in months? Even years? Perhaps it's a gentle nudge from the Lord in bringing that person to mind so that you can bring him before the throne of grace. There may be a special need just at that time for them and the Lord is bringing you into fellowship with that need. Don't hesitate. Pray.


"I cannot tell why there should come to me
A thought of someone miles and years away,
In swift insistence on the memory,
Unless there is a need that I should pray.
We are too busy to spare thought
For days together of some friends away;
Perhaps Gpod does it for us-- and we ought
To read His signal as a sign to pray.
Perhaps just then my friend has fiercer fight,
A more appalling weakness, a decay
Of courage, darkness, some lost sense of right;
And so, in case he needs my prayers--I pray."

From: "How I know God Answers Prayer" by Rosalind Goforth

That is an interesting thought, about one coming to mind at random to remember them in prayer. I have enjoyed doing so on occasion. Prayer is such a wonderful thing,when we've been "brought into fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ".
