Morning everyone

Hello all my fishing buddies!! I hope this finds you in good health.. we are good, just bored bored bored.
I have many people asking us to pray for them lately.. for the pandemic, and for our nation as well. It is an immediate necessity.
When people ask me to pray for them, I always try to do it immediately. That way, I don’t forget. It’s also a good thing to ask other Christians to remember us in prayer when we’re facing a crisis. Without question, there’s power in unified prayer.
Jesus said, “If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them” (Matthew 18:19–20).
He’s also in Heaven interceding for us right now. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ “is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf” (Hebrews 7:25).
And the apostle Paul wrote, “Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us” (Romans 8:34).
Robert Murray M’Cheyne, a 19th-century Scottish pastor, said, “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet the distance makes no difference; he is praying for me.”
By the way, Jesus Christ prayed a lot when He walked among us. He was always praying to the Father. We see Him praying all night on a mountain, praying before He chose the 12 apostles, and praying in the Garden of Gethsemane as He contemplated the horrors of the cross. We also see Him praying from the cross.
So if Jesus, being God, felt the necessity to pray, then how much more should we? With all of our shortcomings and weaknesses, how much more should we follow the example that Jesus set for us?
God bless and have a great day!

We all should pray in some way or another an I'm sure most do. I find most times I pray or talk to the lord when fishing or even just out in the woods for a walk or hunting. Prayer is a most humbling thing for me. The Lord knows we all need help from time to time and it's nice to be able to help others in need even if its is a prayer
