A short poem my mother-in-law gave me a few years ago. I love this reminder of how much of a difference our prayers can make, especially when we can’t go on any trips at all at the moment. Enjoy :)

TRAVELLING ON YOUR KNEES
Last night I took a journey
To a land across the seas.
I didn't go by ship or plane
I travelled on my knees.
I saw so many people there
In bondage to their sin,
And Jesus told me I should go,
That there were souls to win.
But I said "Jesus, I can't go
To lands across the seas."
He answered quickly, "Yes, you can
By travelling on your knees."
He said, "You pray, I'll meet the need.
You call, and I will hear.
It's up to you to be concerned
For lost souls far and near."
And so I did; knelt in prayer,
Gave up some hours of ease,
And with the Savior by my side,
I travelled on my knees.
As I prayed on, I saw souls saved
And twisted persons healed,
I saw God's workers strength renewed
While labouring in the field.
I said, "Yes Lord, I'll take the job.
Your heart I want to please.
I'll heed Your call and swiftly go
By travelling on my knees."

God really does use us as we pray for others - even when we can’t help them or see them - He is always listening. How relevant is this for us right now!! You gotta love when you find things that are so perfect for what you are going through!
