One of the good things about Facebook and Twitter and such things is that you get to connect with the world. Literally! I really enjoy praying for people and I use social networking to do it. I usually spend some time on Wednesday mornings praying for people that I don't know and may never meet. But God knows. He is intimately involved with the details of it all.
I have been praying for a kid named Alex Ross for about a month now. I have never met him. I have never spoken to him. But I have seen a community of believers in Jacksonville, Fl. lift him in prayer, support his family, and make his story known.
I just started to read his blog today. He was shot in the head and given 3 hours to live. GOD HAD OTHER PLANS! He is well on the road to recovery! There are several videos that you can watch to get a better idea of this story and how God is the orchestrator of all things. Please pray for Alex. Pray for his parents. Pray for his siblings. Pray for their church. Wanna go deeper?…pray for the guy that shot him.
God allows us to share in His blessings. One of them is seeing something come to pass that you prayed for in someone else's life. It's awesome when you know the person, it's as amazing even when you don't. Jesus healed a servant because of the Centurion's faith! Matthew 8:5-13…

Great post. Sometimes a difficult concept.
