“He’s been tireless in his prayers for you, praying that you’ll stand firm, mature and confident in everything God wants you to do.” (Colossians 4:12-13 MSG)
A pothos plant can grow long leggy vines with beautiful foliage. Yet, sometimes the leaves fall off, leaving bare segments. One of the ways to propagate this plant is by layering. This involves taking the wounded nodules of the vine and burying them under the soil. Some sort of anchoring device is used to hold them in place until they form new roots and foliage.
I am thankful for all those who have encouraged my faith. They saw my wounded parts and layered them in prayer until new roots were formed. Sometimes, we are called to be the anchors that hold others close to the Lord in prayer. This is an obscure, yet essential, task. Consistently pray for those who are wounded--that their suffering is not wasted. Press them deep into Jesus, until they can stand firm, mature, and confident in everything God wants them to do.
