The first time I ever read these words were just a few months ago as I read The Circle Maker. After I read the words, I started thinking about what these words mean. Being a totally new concept to me I started thinking about the significance of the idea that PRAYERS NEVER DIE.
For one, it made me realize that while I might forget, God never forgets. It means that I may have stopped praying about someone or for something but the prayers that I prayed are still alive and well. It means that the prayers my grandmother offered for me are still being answered long after her death. I realized that I need to be praying in more grandiose ways. It means the prayers that I have prayed for my children and grandchildren will still be in affect long after I die. So pray the “right prayers.” The concept that PRAYERS NEVER DIE gave me great hope. It gives me power. It made me realize even more that I need a system to categorize and date my prayers. Why? So I can look back and see how God has been active in my life. This in turn will help build my faith and assure me of His love and concern for me. It proves over and over again, He is GOD.
These 3-simple words…PRAYERS NEVER DIE, helped me to realize that my prayers are important to God and that too often I waste His time on things of little consequences. So, I need to be more focused, more thoughtful and more intentional with my prayers. These three simple words are all inspiring.
So, tell me, what do these words mean to you? PRAYERS NEVER DIE.
