How Do You Find a Prayer Partner?

April 30, 2019 By Susan 1 Comment

Finding a prayer partner can make a huge difference in your life.

Have you ever had tough days? I mean days that hit you in the gut and leave you feeling depleted.

Maybe you are in a series of days that are simply exhausting {that’s me}?

Right now, I am busy. I have too many tasks to do and not enough time to get them done in. I am honestly too busy and feel like I can’t keep up. It may not seem too terrible but it’s exhausting. After a while of running full speed, it has gotten to me.

Unfortunately, my season of life is also very isolating. My husband works and pastors, my kids are small, and I don’t see a whole lot of other people. So even though I’m trying to accomplish a lot these days, it’s nice to talk to a woman whose been there.

If I’m not careful, I can become tired and cranky. No one likes it when mom is cranky.

What are you dealing with that has you depleted and/or cranky?

Recently, as I was praying for myself, specifically for strength for a particularly hard day, I realized I need someone on my side. I need someone who knows what I’m dealing with and can lift me up. It’s also a nice bonus when I occasionally get a check-in message or call. It’s nice to be heard and understood. Some days, I can even feel her lifting me up.

How to Find a Prayer Partner

Here’s how to find a prayer partner.

When looking for a prayer partner, the first thing to do is realize your need and pray for one.

Be open to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Sometimes the person is right in front of you and you just need to be made aware of them.

Ask for help. When you have your radar on someone, ask them for prayer and to partner with you in prayer. Honestly, the older generation is ideal for this kind of partnership. They are your prayer partner kind of material. They have been through the fire and can really say a deep, meaningful prayer on your behalf.

What is your common goal? Will you be praying for stronger health? Will you be praying for guidance for school? Does your child have an issue; behavior, illness, etc? What are you asking prayer for?

What’s next?

After you have found a prayer partner, pray for them, too. Make sure you keep the prayer open in both directions. No one goes through life without needs. While you may be struggling, I bet your prayer friend is too. Lift each other up to the Father. When I’m thinking of others, my problems seem to fade a bit.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16

Regular conversations are vital to a prayer partnership.

If you find yourself with an elderly prayer partner, a regular visit is healthy for you both. A specific day of the week is the best approach here. Tuesdays, for example, would be a good day for a visit. Pick a day that your schedule is light and your partner will look forward to that day, too. You can repay her prayers with your kind visit.

However, if you have a partner around your age make sure you speak face to face often. Regular play dates or a cup of coffee will keep you both in good spirits and strongly connected.

Just because you have someone batting for you doesn’t mean you should neglect your own prayers. Keep up with prayers for your partner and yourself. Prayer is sweet to our Father. It’s a beautiful way to worship Him and to bring Him our need. If you need encouragement for your own prayer time, check out this post about being still for quiet time.
