I Always Thank My God As I Remember You In My Prayers …


I
Always Thank My God
As I Remember You In My Prayers …
Scripture
Philemon
I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 

because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. 

I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. 

Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.

Observation
As I write this this morning I am thinking about you. There are so many people that God has brought into my life, special people, like Philemon and Onesimus were to the Apostle Paul. Only followers of Christ have this kind of relationship. If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ you have no idea what I am even talking about!
Philemon verses 4-7 are my prayer for you this morning! Thank you for partnering with us over all these years. God is good. All the time! I praise God for bringing you into our lives!
Application
I will pray for my friends!
How about you? Will you take time to pray for those who God has brought into your life to partner with you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I am so grateful for every person that You have brought into our lives. We are blessed. We are so rich in friends. You are so good to us, Lord. I always thank You as I remember our friends in my prayers. I pray that their partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening their understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Their love has given Kathy and I great joy and encouragement. Their love has refreshed our hearts. (Philemon 4-7 personalized)
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 6,7; 2 Chronicles 26,27; Philemon
