Praying for Others
Scripture:
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matthew 7:7
Saints, have you ever been in a situation and didn't know how you could get out of it but you did? Have you ever worried about something and it seemed to work itself out? Or have you suddenly gotten the urge to pray for someone you knew? You didn't know why but there is a sense of urgency to just stop and pray for someone or something? Often times God calls to our attention the needs of others and prompts us to intercede and stand in the gap for our loved ones. We must come to the realization just how powerful prayer really can be. When we go before the throne with a humble heart and with all sincerity, God can and does answer prayer.
Prayer:
Father we come before the throne of grace with a humble and sincere heart. We come not only on our own behalf, but on behalf of our loved ones, family, friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ. Father God, we don't know what the needs of those that we pray for are, but we know that You know. So father, all we can do is ask that You touch, bless, and anoint those who we are praying for today. Grant them the desires of their heart, according to Your will and tender mercies. Where there is weakness, we ask for strength. Where there is sorrow, we ask for joy. Where there is sickness, we ask for healing. Where there is a lack of faith, we call on the Holy Spirit to magnify it's presence where it is needed Keep all of Your Saints safe, secure, and strong, in Your loving arms. We love You Lord, we thank You for the blessings that will be received this day. As we pray in the most Holy Name of Your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Be Blessed
