"You know something I’ve been pondering a lot lately?
There are people in this world that are praying for you right now.
People who get on their knees every day, and ask God to protect you and strengthen you.
There are people who think about you every day, and have full out conversations with God about you sometimes...
and you never know what’s been said, or even who some of them are.

This thought dawned on me the other day, as I was praying for my future husband.
I pray very specific things for him daily, and it occurred to me the other day that this guy probably doesn’t even know me yet, if he even exists at all.
If I can serve God best as a married woman one day, this young man is out there living his life right now, oblivious to the fact that his future wife is asking God to guide him and strengthen him and protect him daily.

As I thought about this more and more, I thought about all the times where I need prayer.
Recently, I suddenly had things appear in my life that shifted my heart, and brought my sight back to Christ, and all the joy and zeal found in Him, after a very long journey in a spiritual winter.
The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if maybe someone was praying for me too.
Or rather, I wondered who all was praying for me, because I knew in my spirit people who didn’t even know what I needed were praying specific things over me.

It’s just a beautiful thought to me. In the same way I talk to God about my friends, my family, my future husband, my future kids, the people I look up to, my teachers and leaders...
There could be some people I’d maybe never even expect that are talking to God about me. Those prayers might be what gets me through a tough day, or keeps me safe on the roads, or smacks me in the face with much needed conviction that shifts my heart...

You never know what people think or pray about you. There are people in this world having conversations with God about you, maybe even daily...
And I don’t know... that thought is just so powerful and wonderful to me."
