After Christ’s ascension, the believers kept each other company.
Acts 1:12-14 (NLT)
When the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives … they went to the upstairs room of the house where they were staying … They all met together and were constantly united in prayer.
How did that work? Surely they came and went, ate and slept, shopped and did chores … while being constantly united in prayer. I imagine them talking with one another, letting the conversation morph into prayer and then back to conversation.
Good morning, Lord. As I pray, whether privately or in the presence of others, remind me that You are near. I’m not sending my prayers to a far-distant ear, but to God-at-my-side, Emanuel, God with us. Anytime, anywhere, here You are. Thank You.
What an amazing thought/reminder! I’m not sending my prayers far away but to God with me and in me. Thank you and God bless you, Shirlee.
“Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left.” (St. Patrick)
