As helpmates, one of the greatest gifts we have is the power of prayer. It is our direct connection to God, allowing us to intercede for others, seek His wisdom, and cover our loved ones in spiritual protection.
Just as the ribcage protects the heart and lungs (vital organs that sustain life), our prayers serve as a spiritual shield, holding up those we love. James 5:16 says, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Through prayer, we can break strongholds, shift circumstances, and invite God’s presence into every situation.
Being a helpmate isn’t just about physical or emotional support; it’s about standing in the gap spiritually. Today, reflect on how prayer has impacted your life and the lives of those around you. Are you using your power as an intercessor?
