Are We Praying "Accidental" Prayers?

,
Accidental Prayer

As my five-year-old son and I were headed to McDonald's for breakfast one day, we passed a car accident. Usually when we see something terrible like that, we say a prayer for those who might be hurt, so I pointed very quickly and said to my son, "We should pray."

From the back seat I heard his earnest request: "Please, God, don't let those backed up cars block the entrance to McDonald's."

During those months, I daily sought the Spirit’s guidance by asking-seeking-knocking for the mind of Christ. The relaunch is a result of that search. •The Spirit Burst Romans 12:2 Into My Mind And Heart The voice of the Lord came to me many times through Romans 12:2: Be transformed by the renewing of you mind. First, for my life and family. Then also for this ministry. A fresh calling to “engage and equip leaders across the global Church to reimagine their perspective on ministry: prayer, making-disciples, the Church in the 21st century, evangelism, justice, citywide collaboration.” •And Then A New Laser-Focus on  # Reimagine ... Renewing of our minds is a call to reimagine (assess: review-rethink-recalibrate) •Next Came An ...
