5 Reasons You Need a Prayer Partner
Waiting for an answer to prayer is hard. Waiting a long time for an answer to prayer is harder. Waiting a long time by yourself for an answer to prayer is hardest.
Sometimes it seems like no one keeps anything private anymore. Between Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram it’s easy to feel like everyone shares everything. But that’s far from the truth. Almost everyone you meet, like you, is fighting a private battle.
You Need a Prayer Partner –
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10,12
1. To Encourage You – A prayer partner can remind you of what you’re doing well and that you are loved.
2. To Remind You to Hope – A prayer partner can help you hang on when you’re discouraged and feeling like all is lost.
3. To Keep You Accountable – A prayer partner can remind you to stay in God’s Word, God’s will, and to keep praying.
4. To Stand in Agreement with You – A prayer partner can multiply your prayers – “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.” Matthew 18:18
5. To Keep You Focused on Jesus – A prayer partner can remind us that Jesus is able to meet our needs and answer our prayers – Let us keep looking to Jesus. Our faith comes from Him and He is the One Who makes it perfect. Hebrews 12:2

I love to have a prayer companion just because I feel highly supported. Even if I am depressed or sad, praying with a partner will make me feel good and will give me a great comfort.
Plus a prayer partner can really motivate you and help you not to miss a prayer session. Thanks for sharing Deb 🙂
