Words of Encouragement

 

November - 05 - 2006

 

God wants us to be a praying people. But more than that, God wants us to pray for people. The blessing of that kind of prayerful life is that we get to live peaceful and quiet lives full of godliness and holiness. So pray, dear friend in Jesus, pray as if world peace depends upon it, because it does!

Let us read what Paul says in 1 Timothy 2:1-2.

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.

Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.

Majestic and Holy God, your greatness is beyond our minds to grasp but your grace reaches us and teaches in a new way each day. Forgive us when our prayer lives have not been passionate. Forgive us for letting our prayers focus only on what is wrong. Use your Spirit, O God, to ignite a hunger in our souls so that we come to find satisfaction only in you and your presence.

In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.

Amen.
