I Urge You, First Of All,
To Pray For All People.
Ask God To Help Them; Intercede On Their Behalf, And Give Thanks For Them.
Scripture
1 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.
Observation
Here
is how to start my week. Not a bad idea for you too, to pray for all the people
that God brings to mind and ask God to help them. Who are we going to pray for
this week?
If
God tells us to pray for people telling us to pray for Him to help them then
God must plan on helping them.
When
God puts someone on our heart for us to pray for him or her it is because God
wants to show that our prayers will be answered.
Why
would God tell us to talk to Him on behalf of other people if He wasn’t going
to answer our prayers? Lets make sure that we thank God for them too!
Before
I got out of bed this morning God had already brought some people to my mind
and I had the opportunity to pray for them.
Application
I
will pray for everyone that the Lord brings to my mind today and I will thank
my God for him or her.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, there is so much I don’t know about life, but this one thing I do know
and it is this; You love people and You want them all to be saved and I know
that You want me to pray for them! Help me to stay focused on people and their
needs and don’t let me think only about myself. Give me the strength to live
out this day in a way that pleases You. Bring to my mind the people that need
for me to pray for them today. I don’t know how You can hear so many prayers
from so many believers at the same time but I am sure glad that You can. Thank
You for hearing and answering my prayers.
