Have you ever been talking on the phone with a friend and they tell you things are going rough for them right now? Then what do you do? Have you ever prayed for them right there, on the phone? If you have, how did they feel afterward, did it lift their spirits? Well wouldn't this also work through a web meeting using Skype or some other online meeting place? How about a text message, especially if they work somewhere they cannot take phone calls, or get personal email?
I personally think that a text message in the middle of the day telling me that my friend was praying for me at that moment would lift my spirits. Is it the same as them being right there with me in person? No, but that is also an unrealistic expectation all the time, although I would love to be able to be at my friends or families side for every little bump in the journey of life. Maybe my friends and family are praying for me, but maybe they are just saying they are, but if they text me, or call me, or email me, then I know they took time and some effort to let me know for sure that they were thinking about me.
