Why The Hell Are People Suddenly Googling “Prayer”?

Its reasons like this that I kinda want to have a cider or something with Russell Brand. This is the longer version of whats on Twitter…

What do you think of this? Is it just because its Russell Brand, or is this actually a more approachable video on prayer then I’ve seen for a while?

A prayer for anyone who is waiting for something to happen. (With thanks to Facebook)

“Father God, I realise that You have set an appointed time for everything, and I may not necessarily know when it will come or how it will happen. I choose to remain expectant & trust that You will bring my breakthrough no matter how long it takes. Amen”

Bishop Bob’s Prayers on Facebook

Now heres something a little bit cool for a Bishop.

Bishop Bob of Crediton has relaunched his prayer page on Facebook, encouraging people to leave prayer requests for him to say on the wall.

Bishop Evens said: “People really seemed to appreciate being able to send in their prayers to me during Lent, and to know that I would say them each day. As my role takes me all over Devon, I will stop what I am doing each day – pulling over in laybys if necessary – to pray for people.”

While I do have slight concerns about people possibly looking at Bishops as having a better link to God then the rest of us*, I do feel he should be commended for trying to engage with people in this way.

 

*Could I be shot by the good old C of E for saying something like that?
