Have you heard about ______ ? We should pray for them.

Let's be honest, we've probably all said something about another person and attempted to disguise this gossip as a prayer request. Sadly, it's pretty easy to do. But this isn't the example Jesus sets for us. Instead of talking about someone, Jesus always stood with people. He knew gossip distances us, while love brings us closer. Instead of talking about someone and saying we should pray for them, let's pray for that person right then and there, resolving to let our words spread love, not gossip.
