Quote: ”Many of the elders cannot physically serve the community anymore, so they carry our burdens and cares to God in prayer. This can be heavy work…If you ask, they will promise to pray for you, and it won’t be an empty promise or fleeting prayer. It’s a very real and present prayer. Long after you’ve forgotten you prayer request, they haven’t; they’re still bringing your concern before God day after day…Prayer: Loving God strength us with your Spirit, as we pray for others and as others pray for us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
