May 20, 2009 Caring Enough To Pray
Today’s Bible’s Reading 1 Kings 6; 2 Chronicles 3; Psalm 97; Romans 1
Scripture Focus:
Romans 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers.
Observation:
I’m always amazed when I read this statement of Paul. He cared so much about the people he brought to the Lord that he prayed for them “without ceasing.”
Application:
Praying for the ones we love is a privilege and responsibility. For me it doesn’t come naturally, but I’d like to make it a habit.
Prayer:
Abba Father, help me to take the focus of myself and my needs and wants, so I can pray for the ones I love, and my sisters and brothers in Christ who need my prayers.
