Barnabas means "son of encouragement" (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%204:36;&version=ESV;), and the intent of these little messages are to encourage you, give you a little something to think about, maybe a spiritual sort of sweet. :)
This week I want to encourage you to spend some time in prayer for someone who is not a Christian, AND let them know that you have done (or are doing) so.
James 5:16b (NLT)
"The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."
Remember that you may be the only Christian in prayer for this person! As you pray, remember that prayer is not our last resort. It's not the thing you do when you don't know how else to help--we have a direct connection to the Almighty God and He should be the first one we turn to when there is a need.
Pray without ceasing,
Elena
