Pray n Tell

Philippians 1:3, James 5:16, Ephesians 6:18, I Timothy 2:1, Job 42:10

It is good and helpful to pray for others as they have needs, challenges, and cares.  As one remembers them in prayer, asking God to work in their life, it is also encouraging for others to know that one is praying for them.  By praying for others it is one’s joy to:

• Ask God for His guidance in their situation

• Ask God to work out their problems

• Have a part in another’s life

• Be an encouragement to others when they know others care

• Remind others that someone is praying for them

Many times some become so consumed with their own challenges, needs, and problems that they forget to pray for others and reach out to them.  One of the lessons we learn from the Lord is to invest in others. Take time now to pray for five people that God brings to your mind and then let them know you prayed for them.

Prayer: Lord, open my spiritual eyes to see the needs of others and give me the words to share with them that will direct their attention to You and Your blessings.
