It's changed my thought life. So just for today, when you come across someone as you're walking up, before you even greet them, in your head, I want you to pray for them. Pray for their health, pray for their family. Pray for their finances. Pray for their something you know going on in their life. And if you don't know them at all, let's say you're walking up at ⁓ Carline and there's a woman that's opening the car line door and you don't know it at all, I just want you to pray for her to have a great day in your head. Guys, I just want you to pray in your head for her or him or whoever. If you're dropping your kid off at Taekwondo and you see a front desk person, I just want you to pray for them. If you come across one of your kids' friends, I want you when the kid's friend your kid's friend comes running up. I want you to pray for them. This is all in your head. And a prayer can be quick. Dear Lord, I want you to cover this person today. Dear Lord, I want you to please bless this person with health and energy today. Dear Lord, I know this family is going through a lot. I'm just asking that you bring them joy today. This is simple. This takes five seconds and you can do it in your head. And I want you today, just for today, we are going to pray for everyone that we interact with today for a few seconds in our head. If you forget to do it walking up from them, Let's say they call on the phone or they shoot you a text. Before you respond to the text, we're just gonna pray for them before we respond. Before we maybe when we hang up the phone, we're gonna pray for them. A few seconds and today we are gonna pray for everyone. Prayer changes things.
