3:365 Days of Love - Praying for "Sarah"

Day 3: Today, not only did I have the opportunity to attend a different church, Living Hope Ministries (the English Ministry of a local Korean church), but I was also given the chance to pray for someone. I left with a good impression, I've never been to a church where they actually make a specific time to pray on a Sunday (every last Sunday of the month). Yes, there are Wednesday night prayer meetings, but this prayer time allowed everyone of the English Ministry (EM) to pray as a group. First, Pastor Young had us pray for ourselves, then for the people in the room, later the Japan missions and lastly, he instructed us to physically get up and pray for people in the room. Since it was my first time there, I sort of looked around with uncertainty. I glanced at Julie and the girl next to me (I can't remember her name). I questioned them, "Do we just get up and start praying for someone?" Nobody was really moving, but she said "Yes." Okay, I thought, so I slowly stood up, as they did, and walked towards the back of the room. I saw 2 young ladies with white shirts on, I locked eyes with one of the girls and walked over to her. She introduced herself as "Sarah" and also the other girl in white, her sister.
"Sarah" and I spoke for a few minutes, getting to know each other, and asking one another about our prayer requests. We both primarily wanted to have a prayer to prepare us for school and the other up-coming activities. I began, and she ended. Both of us satisfied and thankful with the prayers that we "exchanged" with each other. Actually, I was really amazed and so grateful when she was praying for me, only 2 years younger than I, but her prayer felt like it was from someone the same age as me, or even older.
I honestly can't remember the last time I actually sat down with someone and just prayed for them one-on-one. I love prayer, it's one of my spiritual gifts and God always answers. Even though this opportunity was made, I believe that it was also a blessing for the 2 of us. Prayer can be short and simple, or a long dialog with God. And people of all ages can participate.
