Email Praying


This week we're looking at ways that technology can enrich our prayer lives. Using the telephone for praying with friends and sharing prayer requests and Bible verses via texting are just the start of ways to use technology for prayers.
Email is another way to share the need for prayer with many people at the same time. Sometimes that is the first way we hear about someone's crisis. Often I've received an email with news of a cancer diagnosis or other problem. Then I can immediately start praying and I can also share the prayer need with others.
Email is also a great way to share good news when prayer is answered.
Another way to use email is to write encouraging notes to people you know need a bit of cheering up.
