Are you the only person on your prayer list?

Prayer is more than a routine, it is a powerful partnership with God. When you pray, you acknowledge His ability to move where human strength fails. But God invites us to widen our focus. Our prayers aren’t meant to stop with our own needs, they’re meant to reach others.

When you pray for someone else, you stand in the gap for those who may not have the strength or clarity to pray for themselves. Something shifts in your heart: compassion grows, and you begin seeing people through God’s eyes.

Jesus modeled this for us. He prayed for His disciples, the hurting, the lost—even His enemies. As we imitate Him, the Holy Spirit will place people on our hearts who need covering.

Intercession expands the reach of God’s love. When you lift others in prayer, grace multiplies in every direction—including your own.

Before “OMG” became slang for surprise, O My God was Heaven’s emergency call—a cry that shakes darkness and summons divine help. In Scripture, this phrase isn’t casual or trendy. It is a desperate, sincere cry from the heart of someone who needs God to move. Sometimes it’s loud. Sometimes whispered through tears. Sometimes it’s the only prayer you can form.

And God understands it every time.

He does not need long explanations or perfect words. O My God reaches Him instantly because He already knows your situation, your pain, and your need. Throughout the Bible, this cry appears as a call for help, a plea for mercy, a declaration of trust, and an expression of worship. It is the believer’s SOS—Save Our Souls—and Heaven always responds.

Let us reclaim the meaning of O My God as a sacred, heartfelt cry that God hears, honors, and moves upon.
