I started something new last night. One of my closest friends, Ben Brammer, a pastor in Oklahoma City, and I began a weekly phone prayer time together on Saturday nights before our busy Sundays. One of Ben's mentors, Charles Lyons, the pastor of Armitage Church in inner-city Chicago who has practiced this for many years, encouraged him to do the same. So, we began last night. It's not a long drawn-out thing, but we just take a few minutes to talk and find out the direction we're headed for the next day, and then we take turns praying for each other. I love it. And I know I'm gonna look forward to it every week. So, I'll offer the same challenge here on my blog. Find a weekly prayer partner--especially those of you in some type of ministry position. Take advantage of the awesome privilege we have to pray for each other. You won't regret it.
