discipleship. While serving there, he became acquainted with a congregation member named Mi (pronounced like the English first person singular "me"). It took some getting used to saying things like "Hello, Mi!"
But here's the funny part. That's not how my friend first met Mi. He first heard of Mi when he attended a prayer group when she was going through a bit difficult time. You can imagine my friend's confusion when the leader of the prayer group prayed the following:
"Lord, we all want to lift Mi up in prayer tonight. In our church family, we all value the presence of Mi. Please send comfort, strength and peace to Mi. Thank you for sending Mi our way. Provide a hedge of protection around Mi. We all love and care very much for Mi. Please empower and guide the rest of us for ways we can serve and help Mi. For you know Mi's heart and trials, God. We pray on behalf of Mi. Please bless Mi and take care of her. Amen."
