THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS

2 Thessalonians 1:11

We always pray for you… God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith…

It has been a week now since we discharged Mama, my wife’s mom, from the hospital. She still has a hard time walking and we have to assist her, but she has really recovered. She is now eating heartily, able to talk without murmuring and most importantly, her smile is back. For everything, I would like to thank everyone for the prayers and messages of hope.

One of the priorities of Christian living is our being in a group, a community of people who are in this together. There are many things that come together to establish that as a reality. One of them is each member of the group praying for the others and each other in the group. The Spirit of the Lord is calling us to be a community of believers. As we believe in Him, so do we must share this belief with others. Toward that end, He is now, again, calling us all to pray for each other.

One of the greatest blessings we have as children of God is the ability to pray for one another. We are all part of one body of Christ. We need to be upholding one another in prayer in order to strengthen and encourage the whole community. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. - James 5:16

Almighty Father, You call us to give You thanks for Your healing and redeeming grace. It is only through our humble acceptance of Your awesome gifts that our relationship can grow. May the Spirit help us, and our faith community, to enter our prayers and pray for each other, in unity with all our brothers and sisters in faith, trusting that our God will make us worthy of His calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith.

Amen +

Announce His salvation, day after day. Tell His glory among the nations…
