So I have continued to pray for opportunities to minister to strangers, but this past weekend I realized something we all should think about.
My Niece
My niece and I are really close. She has always been my biggest fan and always has looked up to me. The other day my niece was telling me some things that are going on in her life, that are really hard to swallow. At the moment she told me God said "Pray with her!" I told God, " I am good, I will pray for her later." The more she talked about the heavy issues, the more my heart was burdened, it got so intense I had to pray. I prayed with her immediately and my heart felt relieved.
In this moment I realized a lot of times we are really close to our family members and friends, and we tell them, "Whats going on? Oh really? I will pray for you!" But I believe that God calls us to do more than this. God calls us to even meet our family members and friends where they are at and pray with them, not just for them.
So in conclusion don't let your closed family be strangers! They are the ones you should minister to the most.
