Not About Me November {Day 16}

11/21/2011

7 Comments

 

My Facebook Friends are Not About Me

Picture
Have you ever thought that "God has given you a unique group of friends to influence. He has given you the privilege to make a difference in their lives through prayer. No one else can minister to this specific group of people. God has entrusted them to you. What an awesome privilege and trust!"1
Picture

Perhaps the facebook friends that God has given us are not about us. Perhaps one of the reasons God allows us to be friends with them is to pray for them. In Using Facebook as a Ministry Tool, I talked about using your friends list as a prayer list, but PrayBook is a tool that does all the organization for you. 

"Praybook is an interactive application to help you pray regularly and consistently for your friends on Facebook. (It can even help you pray for friends not on Facebook.) Praybook is meant to help you make a difference in your world through prayer! It helps you pray for your "friends and at the same time build a valuable spiritual discipline in your own life. It organizes your friend list and automatically serves you a unique prayer list each day based on your Facebook friend list."2

It's a free tool. All you need to do is log on to PrayBook and sign in with facebook. Then you decide how many friends you want to pray for a day. It breaks it down for you in terms of how many friends you pray for a day determines how fast your get to pray through your whole list of friends. What a fun thing to be able pray for everyone on your list every year, or a few times a year.

Laura, I started using Praybook last week and it has been amazing! Not only have my friends been touched when they've learned that I prayed for them, but it has truly blessed me. I don't know some of my Facebook "friends" very well, but God knows and loves them. He has led me how to pray for these people and it has stirred by faith and prayer life.

Laura, a friend pointed me to your site for some encouragement to pursue writing, and he's right...I love your blog! P.S. I'm considering changing my About Me section to "it's not."

Love this perspective!! I long thought facebook was a huge waste of time and a time sucker BUT God is so creative and knew what was up when it was invented.

Thanks Laura for pointing even Facebook back to the glory of God!
