My best friend Ann ( who died last month) created a prayer library on whatsapp . Her legacy.Not only did it help those who needed prayer, it also helped Ann to learn how to love others more and share more about the good news of salvation and in doing so become more like Christ. This is a great example of how social media can be used for encouragement and instilling hope in others, especially those who have no hope.

Hi @toni2,
Wow, that’s an awesome story. Thank you for sharing - and I’m so grieved to hear of the loss of your best friend.
I’m curious to hear more how Ann built this prayer library. What was it like?
Are there ways you and others are continuing to share prayers with each other on WhatsApp to remember her and connect with God?

@toni2 I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing about the prayer library Ann created and its impact on her and others. I praise God for all that He taught Ann through it and pray that He will continue to use it work in the lives of others and draw them near to Him.
Absolutely! Though social media can cause harm, it can also bring such life and hope when used in the way Ann did. I have found much encouragement and wisdom through the intentional, thoughtful, and loving posts and creations of others on social media as well as through prayer and events coordinated through social media.
Social media seems to amplify a person’s ability to influence others, whether for good or for ill. When we take care both what we create and what we consume there is a lot of potential for good! I’m so thankful for all that God did and is doing through Ann’s prayer library!
