Christian Prayer Room

[tenac]

Last evening around 6 o'clock watching the full moon slowly rise above the horizon. And as it continued into the night sky giving the snow covered landscape a whole new perspective in the quietness of a cold winters night. Feeling the fresh cold air upon me and watching my life sustaining God given breath leaving my body like a cloud as I exhale. Filling the blessing in my heart of yet another awesome day that God has just blessed me with and the ability to be out and about getting the things done that I needed to get done...and...enjoying His awesome creation along the way. Thinking about how blessed I am to have a warm home with a roof over my head…a warm bed to sleep in…as much food as I want to eat. All the many things that God blesses me with each and every day. Sitting there realizing just how blessed i am day by day as i walk this earthly path but in that moment my thoughts turn to those who right then in that same moment. Thinking about the many folks that are hungry…living in a cold house trying to stay warm…the many who are homeless during this time of the year. Thinking about so many children that i am sure often wonder why other kids have so much and they have so little. And i praise God that He enables me to see those things and understand those things and have a desire to want to do something…anything…to reach out and try to help those in need. And it really is so simple to help people…anything from a smile to a handshake or a hug…looking somebody in the eye when we are listening to their story...their needs...and letting them see Jesus in us and they can know that we sincerely and genuinely care. Praying with folks…given somebody a ride or leaving a bag of groceries on somebody's porch. Providing a little cash or some fast food to those on the street...all in Jesus name. Thinking as I stood there in the cold watching the moon getting higher in the sky…and as beautiful as it was…that little nudge in my heart telling me…reminding me…asking me...what am i doing to make a difference...am i doing enough...could i be doing more? For so many folks life is not sitting around the campfire singing kumbaya…life is not all warm and fuzzy...it is a day-to-day struggle…just trying to make ends meet…trying to put gas in the car to get to work to draw a minimum wage…trying to pay the bills and trying to put food on the table. So many folks...and it don't matter why they are where they are…struggling here in the year of 2026 in this country of the United States where we have so much. And thinking on all of this wasn't ruining my evening…im still looking at God's beautiful creation and giving Him praise for it. Just another time for me to evaluate my walk with Jesus and just a reminder to myself of how good I really have it and am i doing all that Jesus wants me to be doing in serving others and serving Him. And in that moment it comes to my mind...my motivation that often comes to me…the reminder…when Jesus said… What you do for the least of these you do for me. Think about it!

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25:35-40
