Powerful Prayers on Your Mobile Phone

      Most people today use social media as part of their life. Some spent much time viewing and visiting their favorite website or applications to do business, accomplish work, and do some research. As Christian, we need to be wise in this area because it might draw us away from God, instead of devoting ourselves to prayer in all seasons. 

      Mobile prayers are powerful as long as it is genuine, from your heart, and not to impress others to praise you for being prayerful. The opportunity to pray through social media is larger and wider. 

Below are the four opportunities you can make when you use social media through your mobile phone to widen your prayers:

1.    You can easily pray for the people close to you even if they are from you. 

Social media becomes a bridge to reach out to our distant loved ones and people so close to us. This is how technology helps us. The world is becoming nearer to our self, that you can now learn things about new things from other countries without going there physically. The people you care about are now reachable from the place you are in, no matter how far away they are from you right now. You can let them know how you care for them, and how you want to pray for them. They would probably see you as a blessing, for they can ask you to pray for them. They may be going through a big crisis right now, and praying for them is a great help and big comfort for their present situation. You can collect details from your loved ones so you could pray for them accordingly. Pray to God to release blessing towards them. Ask God to help them and strengthen them in their difficult circumstances.

2.    You can extend prayers to the people you know before and also to the people you have not known personally. 

There are possibly some people whom you met personally before, but for a long time, you have not seen anymore. Social media can lead you to them. Right now, through the help of social media, they are now connected to you. You can even see the information about their family background through their personal profile, and by their timeline, you can view their recent activities.  You can be a blessing to them if you desire to pray for them. You can let them know you want to pray for them, and they would be glad to know about that. How about praying for people you never met personally? Social media brings us many people we never know, yet you can also pray for them. Many of them ask for prayers by showing their present photos to show their real situations. You can pray for them and encourage them by your words of prayers. You can make a difference with others through the ministry of prayers.

3.    You can pray for your own country

You can pray more specifically for your country by knowing its present situations. Social media will inform you how your country is going through right now. It’s on your mobile phone, with the help of an internet connection, you can access your country’s latest situations. Go to a reliable site where you can get true information about your country. This is how you can pray for specific things. You can pray for specific people, especially your country’s political leaders. You can pray for unity, peace, and order and pray to end corruption.  Be a responsible citizen of your country by praying for your nation.  You can also encourage others to pray for your country by setting yourself as a good example. 

4.    You can pray for the whole world

Your citizenship is no longer limited to the country where you live right now. Due to the technology’s powerful instrument, through an internet connection, the whole world and even beyond becomes easily reachable to your hand. You are an important part of the world because you are a global citizen. Social media is now a means of how you can interact with other people from other nations. Praying for the world matters because countries are now depending on each other by means of importing and exporting products. It’s always possible that when one country will experience an economic crisis other countries will be possibly affected. Pray for blessing, unity among world leaders, and peace and order. You may have some loved ones working in other countries and would be affected if that country will experience crises such as war, or terrorism activities. 

      Now you know how you can make a difference for your loved ones, the people close to you, and even the people you have not known and met personally. Through prayer on your mobile phone, you can extend your prayers towards them. The people you can pray for are not limited to the place where you are right now, you can go beyond that, the whole world is now reachable into your hand-it’s in your mobile phone.
