Invisible weapons

There are so many people we meet in a day. Shopping. At work. In traffic. At school.
Have you ever found that people have the comfort of speaking with you about their problems and you really just don’t know why?
I’m not a terribly social person, but I find that people often want to speak with me about their lives. Randomly. I make a point now of going to self checkouts. It’s not that I don’t care. But my response is rarely what they want to hear. “Would you like me to pray for you?” Then they get uncomfortable and we have a nice long awkward silence. But really. There’s nothing else I can do. I can talk to God and He can fix your problem, but me, myself and I not only can’t help with your problem, but I probably don’t even really understand it.
As Christians people will seek us out something about us draws them to us, and they want to talk to us about what’s going on in their lives as though we can help. The fact is we can’t help but we can talk to the one who can Jesus can help these people? He can solve all their problems and we can lead them to him. But a lot of the times people get upset when you bring God up and then I kind of wonder, well if you don’t want me to talk to God about it, then why are you talking to me about it?
I have learned a lovely thing.Praying in secret. At my job, one of the ladies said to me, I have no problem with you but i’m not into that whole God and Christian thing.I want nothing to do with it.I feel if I walked into a church.It would probably burn down because of my sins. In my mind I went, ” those are fighting words where I come from.” Verbally I just said, “okay.” People don’t always want you to pray for them, but that will never be able to stop you from praying for them. You don’t have to pray for them out loud. Jesus can even hear the thoughts of Your Heart. Pray for them in your mind. Especially if they don’t want you praying for them. They bring you they’re troubles because they don’t know who wants to go to. They realize that somehow, deep within their spirits that you have a connection to Jesus and that he can fix things, but they are afraid they are afraid to find Jesus.
They’re afraid of all he stands for and how he will change their lives. Just because you are not telling someone that you will pray for them, and just because you are not praying out loud with them. Standing there does not mean that God is not hearing you. You can pray at home on your knees. You can pray in your car. You can pray right there in that moment. Inside your own mind and soul. And God will hear. You never know when a person will have a breakthrough. And you never know how your prayers will help them, so don’t stop praying. Especially when someone tells you, they don’t want to be prayed for pray harder than even if they never know that you are doing so.
