Tuesday is when the Jefferson Baptist Prayer Letter comes out. There are a lot of prayer requests in it each week. There is a lot of pain, and hurt, and need expressed in all those requests. It gets emailed to my iPad.  I pray through it  on Tuesday evening and do a lot of “cutting and pasting” of prayer requests into my prayer journal where I have everybody who attends JBC and many who have visited. I try to get a picture of as many as I can get pasted in my journal as well so I can pray with more passion and remember names and faces in the process. Over the years of spending hours and hours praying through my prayer journal and recording requests, problems, and needs and then recording changes and answers I have grown very confident and strong in faith and believe with little doubt that many changes happen to the people I faithfully pray for each week as God works in their life and answers my prayers. My devotion to this time of praying through my prayer journal has grown and grown over the years, and I now consider that time the most important thing that I do each week. I won’t know until I get to heaven how much God has done in the lives of people as a result of my praying and the people I pray for have little awareness of the difference that God has accomplished because of my interceeding for them. They will find out in heaven as well.
