|  From the desk of Frank Coleman 12/17/2011 | | | | Praying For One Another
We must continue pray for one another!! I truly believe in what the scriptures command us to do which is to "carry one another's burdens, and keep one another in prayer."
Various authors of the books in the New Testament give reference to prayer, here are some examples:
"I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe."
— Ephesians 1:16-19.
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. "
—Ephesians 3:16-19.
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should."
—Ephesians 6:18-20.
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, Php 1:10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. " — Philippians 1:9-11.
"Continue praying, keeping alert, and always thanking God. Also pray for us that God will give us an opportunity to tell people his message. Pray that we can preach the secret that God has made known about Christ. This is why I am in prison. Pray that I can speak in a way that will make it clear, as I should."
— Colossians 4:2-4.
"That is why we always pray for you, asking our God to help you live the kind of life he called you to live. We pray that with his good things you want and perform the works that come from your faith. We pray all this so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ will have glory in you, and you will have glory in him. That glory comes from the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."
— 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12.
"And now, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the Lord's teaching will continue to spread rapidly and that people will give honor to that teaching, just as happened with you. And pray that we will be protected from stubborn and evil people, because not all people believe."
— 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2.
"First, I tell you to pray for all people, asking God for what they need and being thankful to him. Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to know the truth."
— 1 Timothy 2:1-4.
"I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ."
— Philemon 1:6.
"Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. "
—James 5:13-16.
"Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as I know your soul is getting along well."
—3 John 1:2
---------------------------------------
My prayer for you is: "Lord, I seek your boldness today to show each reader the way you have for them... plans to prosper them and give them hope and a future. Give each wisdom, knowledge and strength to withstand any conflict that we all are confronted with on a daily basics. Give them love, peace, and joy. Touch them from the top of there heads to the bottom of their feet giving them strength, endurance and healing.
Amen and Amen" | | | | | | |
