A Bowl Full of Prayers

Is someone praying for you? Well I am so you have at least one. Probably your mommy is praying for you. That’s two. Hey I bet your daddy prays for you too. That’s three. How about your grandparents? Ah, they are probably praying. Possibly up to seven people praying for you now. What about your best friend? Oh yeah, best friends are praying. What about all your family (brothers, sisters, in laws, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces), friends (since childhood), co-workers (from every job you’ve had), neighbors (from every place you’ve ever lived) and strangers who pray for healing in your circumstances. OK, the numbers just went beyond my count ability. Wow, pretty cool huh? You got a posse of people praying for you. How old are you? Do you realize people have been praying for you and your well being since before you were born? Did you know it adds up? It says in the final book of the Bible that all our prayers are stored in huge golden bowls in God's throne room. ALL! No prayer offered for you or prayed by you has ever been deleted or erased or tossed aside. Goose bumps huh? Is that awesome or what!

“…….and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God's holy people. Revelation 5:8

Golden bowls full of prayers? What could that possibly look like in God’s throne room? Maybe God’s golden bowls would look like miles and miles of golden fields here on earth. That might be a bowl big enough to hold all those prayers.

Field of Prayer

A pearl to string: God has given each one of us the honor and privilege to pray for one another for a lifetime. Every prayer is heard by God himself. There is not one that slips away.

Be blessed by your bowl full of prayers,
