“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds
of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying
for all the Lord’s people.” Eph. 6:18
I was never good at sports and I can’t stand football.
Nevertheless, I am part of a team: we call ourselves “the warriors.” As part of
this team, I recognize the importance of the huddle. It’s within the sacred
shelter of the huddle that players receive encouragement, direction, and
chastisement.
We have a playbook with rules and guidelines, but often
our Coach has to call an audible and we’ve been known to lob more than a few
“hail Mary” passes. Whenever life gets tough, I call and email the best players
on the team asking for wisdom and prayer. Whenever I experience joy or a
breakthrough in a situation, I go to them to tell of what God has done.
He uses my teammates to encourage me and support me and
yes, sometimes to even chastise me. I think together we make a good team and I
am so grateful to have such a group of prayer warriors in my life.
