I Pray For My Readers

This blog is in response to Faithbloggers.com Prompt #31

I didn't think of praying for my blog and its readers at first. Which is very strange for me, because I pray for anything and everything that concerns me, or whatever I do.. Prayer is so important to me. But I was going through so much when I started this blog (and still am) that it just didn't occur to me.

Hooking up with Faithbloggers and Courtney reminded me of this.  I read the article she wrote in which she said that she prayed for everything and then she didn't worry about it anymore, including her blog.  It touched me deeply because here I am, praying and still worrying about everything in my life. Plus I was feeling the challenge of getting new content and the daily business of running a blog (I am a newbie and still feel quite lost), so i started praying fervently.

I now pray both for the blog and the readers. I usually pray before I start, and now, even as I get the ideas to blog. I know some people imagine who their readers are (mine are children and the people who take care of them). I don't. As I write, I pray that they would benefit and be blessed by what they read. As I say constantly, I really want children and adults who are hurting from various forms of abuse would get answers, a sense of God's comfort, and information that they can use to help them in their daily lives. I pray that they would know that God can take their broken, banged up, horrendous lives and make it brand new again. I pray for this for all children and adults who have been hurt in their childhood, including my blog readers.
