Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with lavish love:

“On [God] we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers.”
(2 Corinthians 1:10-11)

I need a little help with this one, Jesus.

Okay.

I need a lot of help – and not just with this one!

But for the moment, please help me focus on those seven words I just read:

“…as you help us by your prayers.”

Here’s my question:

If I’ve set my hope solely on You
if I have direct access to You – and I do!
if You alone can perform the countless miracles required to deliver me

then why in the world do I need the help of other people’s prayers?

I’m not saying I don’t.
I know I do.

I just don’t know why!

…unless You’ve deliberately set this thing up to keep me intimately connected

to the rest of my brothers and sisters.
