“Praying Christians Make A Difference in the Lives of Others!”
Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world. 9 God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to God, whom I serve with all my heart by spreading the Good News about his Son.
10 One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you
The verses describe how I feel about the many prayer pals I have in this group. That verse sums up how I see you all. Thank you for being out there and lifting up my requests when I needed you. 🙏🏽
I had this thought taped to my file cabinet at work for many years but over the past year, I picture all of you when I read it. God bless you. 😇
Our prayers need a balance of praise, intercession, thanksgiving, and confession. It’s important for us to remember that praise cannot really take place until there’s a confessing of sins that might be hindering our prayers. We cannot pray effectively if things aren’t right between ourselves and God as well as between ourselves and others.
Jesus leaves little doubt about it, teaching us to ask daily, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” (Matthew 6:12).
Praying for one another is our calling as we journey in faith together.
“Intercession is a daily service we owe to God and our brothers and sisters. It’s a gift of God’s grace.” It can happen in worship as well as while driving to work. Praying Christians pray anytime and anywhere—and they truly make a difference.
While we pray for others, we must not be afraid to ask others to pray for us. Life is complicated for everyone. When praying for others or asking for prayer, our bond of unity is strengthened. Our attitude toward those for whom we pray often changes us. After all, Jesus calls us to love even our enemies, and he says, “Pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44).
It makes me feel like a part of something HUGE to know that we come together every night to pray for everyone on that list, for silent prayers, and to thank Him for all the prayers He's answered because we prayed together in faith. Let's keep praying and making a difference!
