Great points! I also pray, “help me identify the best prayer partner for this specific issue”. That helps me share with confidence that I’m talking to the right person or group. It also helps guide me with how much detail is appropriate.
May I add that from personal experience, I have found that when I do ask specifically for prayer for my sister, I can honestly say that God “answers faster” most every time, than if I am praying alone. Two or more…..what a beautiful and true promise. How can I can deny my fellow siblings in Christ the blessing of His presence in our midst!
(Please correct me if I’m wrong about that scripture, as some sources say that is referring to church discipline more than a group gathering for prayer about various things… Thank you)
Wrote a response to this and just now realized I never hit send — sorry! Well, yes, Matthew 18 is specifically about church discipline. So you’re right in that’s the context of where two or more are gathered. But that doesn’t mean there’s not beauty and gospel hope in seeking prayers from other believers and coming together corporately!
