Rochester, Minnesota (Rochester Sun Times News) - Prayers, first time, nine hundredth, two millionth, last prayers, prayers for others are already happening here today. In fact, they never as stop.  

Prayers are on many minds of medical patients that have asked me for their prayers for today and always. Some of them can’t eat or drink this morning, others can drink water only for up to an hour before their tests and procedures. They want to eat or drink, but the success of their life-altering tests and procedures this morning requires them to follow the rules.

When we say we pray over others, truly mean it and believe it’s being heard because that is what we are taught. God hears all prayers.

In fact, I’m putting all my prayers on today’s promises for a lot of people this morning and giving them to the one God I believe in.

I am puttinin thehe prayers you have asked me to pray. I’m offering them up on the sunrise I woke up to. Not because God called me to, rather my phone fell down and hit me in the head, so I got up, earlier than I wanted, but considering it’s dark again at 6:21 a.m., the sun is clouded over, some of you are waking up to the dark clouds, maybe worried it is a bad sign, going to be a bad or gloomy day.

I shot these moments, and they came and went, geese passed overhead, crows called out, cottonwood tufts drifted by, silver maple tree helicopter seeds spun down to the ground.

Today, I wanted to serve you, and all of you that asked me to pray. In Jesus’s name, I pray that your day will be filled with hope and these pictures of the 5th hour of today, before the rain began to fall will inspire you. Amen.
