When I feel useless, I remember words from a devotional:
"...some of My greatest workers are those physically unable to serve, but who have learned to wield the powerful weapon of prayer.” Streams in the Desert (as recorded by Laura A. Barter Snow)
Arthritis? crippling disease? home-bound? bedridden? stuck in a nursing home? feeling useless?
Pray...
Praying for others who are able to do work you're unable to do...pray for God's power to fill the spaces that Satan would use to get in and get a foothold and stop forward progress of these saints of God who are battling on the front lines as ministers, as firemen, teachers, nurses... and police officers.
Praying for volunteers in disaster situations, rescuers, responders: cooks, babysitters, clean-up crews.
Praying for our military: those in special operations who do almost everything in secret, for others who battle depression, for Vets who come back maimed and suffering. For military families who lose loved ones and must walk on alone.
Praying today that you, my friends, prosper and bring honor and glory to the kingdom. May Christ be manifested in all your efforts.
