Become an answer to prayer

At a meeting a few weeks back we were talking about releasing some money to answer a request from a group that needed some help financially. We talked about it for a bit, and although it was possible for us to help, it was decided not to proceed. One member summed up the next step when she said "let us pray for them to get the money they need"

The problem is that I can guarantee that lots of people are probably praying, but how many have decided that maybe it is there role to be the answer to those prayers.

It is easy to be the person to pray, but sometime real faith means not praying but becoming the answer to a prayer. In many ways those answers are little miracles, they are little moments when God is doing something, when Heaven touches Earth. What a privilege!

Sometimes it can be a little gesture, a phone call out of the blue, a cheque in the post, a meal cooked and delivered. Sometimes it can be so small we think about and think again. But maybe it is God's prompt, maybe you are the answer to someones prayer.

We often think they we are not making a huge difference, we have not solved world poverty, seen revival in our local area, but maybe we are aiming to high. Jesus described the Kingdom as like a mustard seed, or yeast, or salt, maybe it is the small thing that may make a big difference.

So what are you waiting for, why not resolve to do the next crazy idea that comes into your head, why don't you become the answer to someones prayer?
