Wanderful prayers.

[higherFaith]

Wanderful prayers? My own wording in this. Wander- meaning to wander the world, suffix -ful, as in the terms "full", and "wonderful". I would like to get those who would not only shy away from prayer, but those whom of which, are only around for a specific time. Let us all join in prayers, as we wander this earth together, praying in one voice to further the glory of God.

I love your phrase! It reminds me of the German loan word "wanderlust," a strong desire to travel.

I suppose the "wanderful prayers" meaning could fall into two camps. One, as you wonderfully suggest, a pensive mental roaming for areas that need prayer (cf. "be clear minded and self-disciplined so that you can pray" 1 Pt 4:7 or "pray in the Spirit with all kinds of prayers and requests ... be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" Eph 6:18). Two, it reminds me of how in prayer my mind tends to wander from its proper focus! Such is the travail on the trail of the travels of life. And the wonder that God hears the prayers of those who wander in the "wilderness of the peoples" (to borrow from Ezekiel).
