My coworker and I were messaging back and forth because he was a little apprehensive about a meeting he had coming up and so he asked me to pray for him. 

When I read the message I was multitasking so I just smiled and kept going.Then the Holy Spirit stopped me and asked me “Are you going to ignore the need for prayer?”. Being so busy my mind read it was an expression rather than a request. 

My heart swelled and I prayed right then. The fact that I was trusted and identified as a praying woman in the workplace meant so much to me and I almost missed it. 

I’m so grateful to the Spirit for stopping me from my busyness to be about the Father’s business! 

Be aware of “Martha” moments. Luke 10:41–42 reminds us not to let tasks distract us from spending time with Him and being present for the more important things. I got the opportunity to pray for someone else and be with my God in prayer, when I paused my work for better reasons.

See you next week!
