Tonight (technically last night) Dan came home from school feeling a little tired, and down. We had the condo to ourselves (my brother-in-law is living with us for awhile), so I suggested that we pray together. Dan didn't feel much like praying, but he said it would be okay for me to pray for him. This is the moment I've been waiting for... drumroll please. You see, I've always been the weaker, less spiritual, more sinful of the two of us. So, I thought this was my moment to really show Dan how I am learning to interceed from spending my days at the House of Prayer. After all, I am an OFFICIAL intercessory missionary, now. So, I pray the Ephesians 3 apostolic prayers for spirit of wisdom and revelation, and strength and might on by the Spirit on his inner man. The whole time I'm kind of peeking at Dan to see how hes feeling. I struggle through the prayers kind of repeating myself...not fluent or authoritative at all. And we finish, and he looks the same, sounds the same.
I left to go to City HOP, and on the way I'm just kind of laughing at my expectations. I really thought I could impress Dan. I'm not depressed or anything because I don't think it was a pride issue. It was more that I just wanted to really be able to stand in the gap for him for once, and minister to him. You know contribute something valuable on a spiritual level.
In the end, a prayer is a prayer is a prayer. However, I look forward to the day when I can really minister to him.

Ps 27:4 One thing I have desired from the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to pray in His temple.(MKJV)
