Today’s Prayer (06/17/2021)

Oh Lord, I pray for the sake of every person in this world. We were each created for a very special purpose. Unfortunately, not every person realizes their potential with You in their lives. I wish that people would be drawn to know You as their Lord and Savior, but I am afraid that I can only make supplications for their needs. Help them find what is most important in life, which is knowing You and doing what You say is right and holy. As I intercede, even now through the Holy Spirit, I ask that You will touch people’s lives that are open to receive You, Jesus. Help them find the right path which leads to heaven. Lead them away from the darkness that is in their lives now and into Your abundant light. Help these people understand that being a Christian does not have to be difficult. Sure, it can be hard upon family and friends that don’t understand what it means to have a changed life for Christ. Our speaking of Jesus may not be taken in with thanks, but pushback, but this is all for You, God. We know that our journey may not be easy, but it is always worth it. We may be persecuted, spit on, and even killed for what we believe in, but it is why we live. To die in the Lord, is our gain, God. We thank You for saving us and forgiving our sins. We owe everything to You. We love You, God. Amen.

1 Timothy 2:1,2

1 Timothy 2:1,2 (KJV)
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

More Than Praying For Others

As saints of God, we do more than pray for others, but also supplicate, pray, intercede, and give thanks for them also.
