Some of them may not know Jesus yet as their Saviour but we can pray they come to know Him. Others are part of the family of God, and some will be immediate family, but I realised how we could be praying for one another so we're encouraged and built up from day to day, praying we come to grow deeper into God, praying for His wisdom and understanding of His great love for us.
Everyone feels discouraged now and then, but it’s so good to know somebody is lifting us up before the throne of grace at those times especially. God reminded us yesterday of our righteous standing with Him and our verse says a righteous person’s prayers will produce wonderful results, so that means our fervent prayers will do the same, no matter how old or young we might be!
We are all able to be part of God’s plans to bless and uphold people wherever, and whoever they are. God loves and cares about each and every one of them and how wonderfully reassuring that is. Every prayer we pray is a seed sown for the Lord to fulfil His purpose in that person’s life. Our prayers will affect eternity!
Isaiah 65:24 I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
That’s the God who goes ahead of us, so be encouraged and don’t think God won’t answer your prayers, because this verse says He will, and He’ll even do it while you’re still talking about it! Our God is a prayer answering God!
So let’s keep praying and believing for wonderful results. Nothing is too hard, or too difficult, or too far gone for our God to turn around. Thank You Lord. Amen.
