Prayers in WInter

How has your winter been? Where you live has the weather been typical?

Here in Maryland we have had an atypical winter. We have had more snow here this winter than any on record, and more snow than cities that usually get lots more.

Friends in other areas though have reported unusual winters too - snow in Dallas and Charleston, warmer temps in Maine and less snow in Rochester....

Climate shifts (a term I like better than global warming) seem to be more common, and many are pointing to the end of the age when they talk about it.

How shall we pray? Come Lord Jesus Come!

And of course, we need to pray for the here and now - the weather provides opportunities to pray for safe travel, for shelter for the homeless, for warmth and food for all, for power lines that will remain up and functional... the list goes on and on.

What are your "winter prayers"? What requests show up in your prayers that would not be there in other seasons?

and what about the winter of life? those seasons we go through that make us feel bleak and cold? are there prayers then too that are different than other seasons of our life?

Share them here - share them most of all with God - He is always listening, in every season.
