I received a voicemail earlier this week from a friend who was driving by the property of Horizon Community Church. His voicemail was very positive and he wanted me to now that he was praying for me and the church as he drove by - A Drive By Praying. He and I have been practicing this type of praying for years. It is simple yet it is a form of intercessory prayer. Praying for others, thinking about others, praying beyond yourself, recognizing that God really can do great things, greater than we ask or even can imagine. Drive By Praying is a great way to offer a short, focused and positive prayer for the sake of another and for the sake of God's Kingdom. It is also a way to encourage other people as they seek to share Jesus Christ with others.
Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b
