I think I got pulled into some kind of Facebook meme. A friend put up a post about prayer (the friend happens to be a minister). He wrote that a friend had asked him to post it as a profile message for an hour. I’m guessing it was a friend of a friend of a friend of a…

So I put it up. Which isn’t to say that the words didn’t move me because they did. It began:

A friend asked that folks post this as a profile message for an hour: My friends (including me) who are going through some issues right now: Let’s start a prayer avalanche. We all need prayers right now. If I don’t see your name, I’ll understand.

But it was also a  little weird (If I don’t see your name, I’ll understand).

Still, I put it up as my status and immediately got responses from my friends. More than a few. It was from people I don’t usually hear from. They sent words of support my way. I had the sense that they thought something was going on in my life that rendered me in need of prayer. I felt sort of funny about  it. I would never ask people to pray for me and yet…

I Am With You, But I Really Don’t Know How To Repost On My Phone. We Are In need Of Prayer Also. This Is To Let You, And Everybody Know You have My Prayers.

Sending Love & Light!

Will pray and light a candle, it helps! I do care for you Louise, you are a great mom, …

Don’t know anyone who couldn’t use this.

I was touched by the response. A request for prayer really does touch others. I have my own way of praying and I certainly pray from time to time. I think of meditation as prayer. I’m not exactly sure who or what I am praying to but I am praying. I am reaching out to something larger than myself, larger than this reality, reaching towards something sacred…

Here’s the rest of what I think is a Facebook meme.

May I ask my “FB Family” wherever you may be to kindly copy, paste and share this status for one hour to give a prayer of support to all those who have family problems, health, struggles, worries and just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my friends just for moral support. I know some will!! I did it for a friend and you can too. Share some faith, love, and spiritual healing for all in need. Thank you
