more important than you think

Things have been really crazy lately and I have found myself not being about to put as much time or thought into Jesus as I would like. 
Anyways tonight I was at work and cleaning tables right before we closed. A man noticed my Young Life shirt and pointed and said your a Christian. I said yes. He asked me if he could ask me a question even though it may sound kind of odd. I put down my spray bottle and rag and said sure ask. I had no idea what he was going to ask but a million things were running through my head. He asked, "do you pray?" I answered yes and he said I was raised Christian but never really followed it until recently, and he said now I try and pray I find its a lot more important than people think. I completely agree with him. Then he asked me to pray for him. 
So not only am I going to pray for him to be able to find his way with God, but I am asking for any of you who might read this and feel comfortable praying, to also pray for this man. This man had the courage to ask me to pray for him and that is not something a lot of people can do. I hope at least one person reading this can pray for him and all the other strangers out there that are trying to find their way with God. They need help and support just like I did when I first decided to follow Christ. God can do some pretty amazing things in a persons life and moments like these are when I truly believe that. I think God brings everyone into your life for a reason. Even though I only talked to this man for a few minutes he was also brought into my life for a reason. 

"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it"
John 14:13-14
