Thinking to the root of this, I can attribute this partially to the knowledge I gained from a a book: Prayer as a Way of Life - I read several decades ago. Although I don't remember who the author was, that book was definitely a seed which took root and is now ready to bear fruit. Addtionally, God has used several people to help me grow in this area of prayer. I have been blessed with a few ladies who have directly or indirectly watered and encouraged me. It is definitely a benefit to have others that you can partner with in prayer. My prayer partner and I pray together regularly and touch on the various dimensions of our lives - spiritual, emotional, marital, professional etc.
Corrie Ten Boom articulated the place prayer should take in our lives when she said:
"Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer
is too small to be made into a burden."
If you need to talk to someone about how to identify a suitable prayer partner, feel free to contact Beryl or I by email.
