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.

Have you ever felt forgotten by people—but clearly remembered by God?

Joseph knew that feeling. He went from favored son to pit, from slavery to prison, and still Scripture repeats one truth: God was with him. Even in the lowest places, Joseph’s God-given gift kept working. His ability to interpret dreams didn’t disappear in hardship—it showed up in every season.

In prison, Joseph interpreted the butler’s dream and simply asked to be remembered. But the butler forgot…for two long years. Yet God had not forgotten. At the right moment, Pharaoh needed an interpretation no one else could give—and suddenly the butler remembered Joseph. Not coincidence. Divine timing.

Joseph’s story reminds us: being overlooked by people is not the same as being overlooked by God. Your gift still works. Your obedience still matters. And when the time is right, God knows how to bring your name back up.
