'The impact of a prayer is unmeasurable but having previously felt the tangible presence of God and feeling completely covered in prayer I am so eager to share that feeling with others! '
One Wednesday night I was driving along a dark remote road on the way home from my parents, I saw a man crouched down next to a farm bridge over the road. He had his head in his hands and I could tell by his body language that he wasn’t ok. The kids were sleeping in the car so I didn’t stop however I felt unsettled by what I had seen and decided to call the police to tell them about it. Every Wednesday evening members of C7 gather on zoom for 30 minute prayer sessions. I was on my way home to pray in one of these sessions. Pastor John was on and I told him what had happened and we prayed for this man.
While we may never meet this person, know their name or what happened that evening I know he was covered in prayer. This was an amazing revelation for me! This man sat by a roadside in Fife will probably never know that he was covered in prayer by believers across Glasgow and the Central Belt but the impact this may have had is immeasurable! He may have experienced the same feeling I did back in that hospital room. He may have experienced Gods peace for the first time. All I do know is that when the police got there, he had left.

Each week we pray over different things in each half hour session, sometimes prayer requests, the church, our vision, team etc. We have been given the opportunity to stand in the gap for people we may never know and its so powerful! If you have never joined one of our prayer calls, I highly recommend them. Just come along for a nose, if you feel comfortable praying then join in, there’s never any pressure. You never know the impact your prayers may have on someone’s situation and life.
