Pray because God Listens!

Today was a prayer day; lots of things and people to pray for and praises to be given to the Lord. A co-worker of mine came and sat down in my cubicle today and told me about another one of my co-workers. At first I thought it was gossip, but then she looked at me and said, "maybe you can pray for his son to get better." Who am I to be called upon to pray for others? What makes me so great and worthy to intercede with the Father on behalf of another? My sinful self is unworthy and I am powerless to help. However, with the power of the Holy Spirit living in me and Jesus as my intercessor I can go confidently before the throne of our God and know He hears the prayers of his servants. Thank you Lord for hearing a sinner like me, and for using me as a vessel to reach others through your power and grace. John 14:13-14 "You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!"
