We prayed tonight for Peter Lord, an author and former pastor who is coming to minister next week at our church in the Southern California desert.
I had read the story of blind Bartimaeus where Jesus asked, "What do you want Me to do for you?" He answered, "I want to regain my sight." (Mark 10:51)
Then I asked the people to pray just as specifically, like Andrew Murray suggested, "...the distinct expression of definite need." They did! It was great. Every request was to the point. No wholesale praying! I was blessed by their intercession for the man who next week would minister to them.
But I also hurt. I thought, "I wish they prayed like that for me."
