There are always going to be those\u00a0things we need to get done, but that is no excuse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Now, sometimes we can&#8217;t physically be there for someone for various reasons. But, being there for them through prayer is powerful.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">That&#8217;s right. James 5:16 (NKJV) says that fervent prayer avails much. So, if we can&#8217;t physically be there, don&#8217;t dismiss it. Pray. We are doing much through our prayers!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And there are other ways as well. We can call, we can email and we can text! We can send a card, a gift, flowers, etc. There are so many ways we can reach a person nowadays. It&#8217;s actually harder to think of a way <em>not <\/em>to reach them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">God may be laying someone on our heart right\u00a0now to reach out\u00a0to. Don&#8217;t\u00a0ignore it. Take the\u00a0step and do something kindhearted. You will make a difference in their life today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Dear God in Heaven,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Please show me who it is You want me to reach out to today and how to do it. Help me to make this a part of my daily walk. I&#8217;m willing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Help me Lord to be sensitive to You and Your promptings, so that I can\u00a0make\u00a0a difference in\u00a0someone&#8217;s\u00a0life by showing them Your mercy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">In Jesus&#8217; name I ask.
