suffering

9/17/09 My breath prayer today comes from James 5:13, "Are any among you suffering? They should pray." It seems simple enough. We use everything as a call to prayer, even suffering, maybe especially suffering. I started praying early this morning, even before I was fully awake. Sometimes when I am not ready to get up, yet I can't really get back to sleep, I pray. Today, I prayed particularly for those spots around our world where people are suffering from war, disease, corruption, oppression, famine, natural disaster. Suffering leads to prayer.

Love,
Lynn
