“I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts.”

I saw a comment on someone’s post that said, “I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts.”

and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it...

Because here’s the thing:

Our thoughts don't have the power to change things directly.

Thinking ≠ Interceding.

The Saints in Heaven- our Cloud of Witnesses that we hear about in the 2nd reading today- are they in Heaven just THINKING about us?

No. They're praying. our Father listens to His Children's cries.

Prayer changes things. Pleading with the King of the Universe has power because no one will be healed because you thought of them.

People will be healed because you prayed for them.

So yes- when someone asks for prayers, you can totally think about them- but let those thoughts lead you to prayer.

Prayer is powerful.
