We will pray for you by name and need.” That\u2019s the promise we make to everyone who sends Guideposts a prayer request. Everyone.<\/p>\n
How do we do it? We get almost a mil\u00adlion requests a year. They come to us by phone, mail and through the web (check us out at OurPrayer.org). That\u2019s more than 2,000 people who need our prayer support every day. It\u2019s my job to make sure every one of these people is prayed for, often within hours of a request. I couldn\u2019t possibly do that on my own or even with the help of our dedicated staff. The help\u2014and what amazing help it is\u2014comes through volunteers, more than a thousand of them around the world who pray for requests by phone or online from their homes. Because they span so many different time zones, they pro\u00advide a blanket of support 24\/7.<\/p>\n
Let me introduce you to one of them. Robin Michel lives close to our offices in Pawling, New York. Years ago she came to one of our Thanksgiving Day of Prayer services. She had some seri\u00adous needs herself. Still, she started praying through a stack of requests. An amaz\u00ading thing happened. “I start\u00aded to feel at peace about my troubles,” she says. “Pray\u00ading for others brought me so much closer to God.”<\/p>\n
Robin was so inspired, she went through our volunteer training. These days she prays for others using her computer at home. And she still gets that incredible sense of peace.<\/p>\n
Want to be a volunteer like her? Visit our prayer.org and click on \u201cvolunteer\u201d or call us at (845) 855-4347 and we’ll mail you an application. Don’t forget to send us your own requests (of course they’re kept confidential). We’ll remember you by name and need. Robin, our other dedi\u00adcated volunteers and I promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
