Meanwhile praying also for us… Colossians 4:3 Missionary J. Hudson Taylor oft recounted his conversion. One day while a teenager, he was home alone and bored. In the study he picked up a small pamphlet. His mother, meanwhile, who was eighty miles away, felt a sudden burden to pray for him. Going to her room, she turned the key and resolved to stay in prayer until the burden lifted. As Hudson read, his eyes saw a sentence in the pamphlet about the finished work of Christ. It was as if a light flashed in his soul. Falling to his knees, he gave his life to the Lord. When his mother returned two weeks later, he met her with the news. She said, I know, my boy; I have been rejoicing for a fortnight. You can express your approval, affirmation, and encouragement to others by being a fan, in word, pen, and deed. But the greatest results are achieved by our prayer appeals. Thomas Chalmers, the Scottish pulpit giant, said, Prayer does not enable us to do a greater work for God. Prayer is a greater work for God. The greatest encouragement is conveyed in prayer. [Intercessory prayer]… is our instrument to impart spiritual blessing to others. Be blessed!
