Prayer is such a powerful force is our world. It puts us in touch with God.
When someone expresses a need, it is a wonderful help to fulfill that need. We often use praying about it as an excuse to do nothing for the person.
I need help with a new Christian homeless person we are taking into our home so she won't be on the streets. It is very very difficult. We need someone to help us with her spiritual growth. We are busy with the training her mother didn't provide.
I can find organizations for her. My church has a bible class for her age, but no one in that class will be her friend and if she goes only to find she is not accepted she will be worse off than if she didn't go. Others say to send her to government organizations, and organizations for her kind. She needs a personal touch, not an organization.
God is a personal God, and God asks us to relate to His other children personally with love. God doesn't want you to say "let's pray about it" as a means to absolve all your love and care for others. To give love as we are ordered to do, it requires listening to others, of being personally involved with others. It is not up to someone else less shy, or less qualified. It is up to you.
