The Keys to Life

Having a Prayer Partner

On most Sundays I post lessons learned from a wonderful and dear friend for over thirty years, Faye. She is gone now but the lessons she taught by the words of her mouth and ‘the way she lived her life’ remain in my heart until this day.

One of the most valuable keys Faye gave to me was the knowledge and complete importance of having a prayer partner in our lives. There is power in numbers….’where two or more are gathered.’

A prayer partner is generally in agreement with you. They understand you and your needs…they want what is best for you and in so many circumstances, you can get to the heart of the matter far more quickly because you have already built a relationship with this person.

I miss my times of prayer with Faye but am blessed enough to have other dear ones to turn to. One of the best things about having a prayer partner is they hold you accountable. We all need this….no matter how young or old we are. We are human and it is all too easy to let things slide.

I hope you have someone you can turn to today to join in prayer. If not, ask God to send you someone.

This is the last Keys to Life Sunday I will do. This past week marked the one year anniversary of Faye’s passing. I know she has a special place in Heaven for the years she was an angel to me and so many, many others. Love you, darling, and miss you more than words can say.

Wishing you a blessed Sunday.
