Somebody's Praying For You!!

One of the most gratifying and rewarding thoughts
that a Christian can have is the realization that
another person or people are actually praying to
God the Father FOR YOU!
While my recent blogs have been an effort to involve
you in the ministry of prayer, especially intercessory
prayer, it is important and necessary that you and I
know that OTHER CHRISTIANS ARE MENTIONING
YOUR NAME IN PRAYER!!
Think about it!
Meditate upon it!
Someone, probably a number of your friends and
fellow-travelers, is talking to God about you and your
needs! How does that make you feel? For me, it is
both humbling and comforting, even strengthening
to think about it!
Many of my family members and friends are saved,
love God, know Jesus as Saviour and Lord, and
are involved in the welfare and lives of others. That
means they pray for me! AWESOME! Sorry to use
the vernacular, but it really is "awesome"!
Feeling sad? Someone is praying for you. Depressed?
Someone is praying for you. Lonely? Someone is
praying for you. Ill? Someone is praying for you.
Hurt? Someone is praying for you. Disappointed?
Someone is praying for you.
SOMEONE IS PRAYING FOR YOU!!
Are you a Christian worker in the "fields of the Lord"?
Someone is praying for you. Sunday School teacher,
missionary, pastor, or one who ministers with
music, someone is praying for you. About to start
a new project for the Gospel's sake? Someone is
praying for you. A street preacher or one who is
a witness/soul-winner? Someone is praying for you.
Often YOUR NAME is mentioned, sometimes you'll be
included in a group that the Holy Spirit brings to
the prayer-warrior's consciousness, but in any case,
YOU ARE BROUGHT BEFORE THE THRONE DAILY!
You're not alone. You're not forgotten. You're part
of an army of believers who share their thoughts and
prayers with each other! We have confidence that
"you're going to make it"!! YOU ARE LOVED, not
only by the Heavenly Father and His Son, but by
"the Church", the "fellowship of Believers", your
"prayer army", those who care deeply about you
and for you!!
HAVE FAITH, CHILD OF GOD - WE'RE ALL IN
THIS TOGETHER, AND TOGETHER WE WILL
MAKE IT TO HEAVEN AND GOD'S ETERNAL
PRESENCE!!
