This week’s lessons: Judges 10:6-16, Luke 15:1-3, 11-32
Dear friends,
“How can I pray for you?”
I’m asking you. I always want to know how I can pray for you - whether you think life is good or not. Recently a contact reached out to me. A relative wanted to talk. We’ve been praying for this relative for a long time. They’ve been trapped in a debilitating addiction. At this point, I don’t know how the situation will work out. But God has answered prayers in a small way.
We believe that God is at work by his Word in our lives. He is always working on repentance and faith. We pray that he would work specifically in our lives.
Just like I ask you, “how can I pray for you?”, I encourage you to ask other people, “how can I pray for you?” And not just family members. Ask neighbors, ask friends, ask neighbors, and ask co-workers if it is appropriate. It’s a simple, God-honoring way to live out the mission of God.
Wrap up:
If you are looking to improve your own prayer life, I’d recommend the practice of daily office or daily prayer. I like this introduction to the practice. Introduction to daily prayer. There is nothing better than developing your own prayer life straight out of God’s Word.
How can I pray for you and the people around you? Please let me know.
Ask to pray for your others.
Whether we are close to God or far from him, our gracious heavenly Father is there to hear our prayers and receive us with mercy.
See you this weekend at 9:00 or 10:30 for the Father’s amazing grace!
