“Pray for one another.” -James 5:16
It is of great benefit to study and ponder the prayers that our Savior Jesus Christ offered. It is no accident that almost all of His prayers were intercessory and very few for Himself. Christ was completely selfless, always providing service to those around Him, even His enemies. He taught:
“But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.” -Matt. 5:44.
And if we are to pray for our enemies, what of our prayers for those who proclaim Christ and Him crucified?
Christ is the great and perfect exemplar. He has taught us how to pray, what to pray for and for whom. If we profess His name, we must bend the knee and provide intercessory prayers, for friend and foe alike.
How sweet to lose ourselves in the service of our fellow man. What a wonderful growing experience when we become completely selfless and care for others before our own needs.
In my experience, when we are faced with challenges, the easiest way to climb and reach higher ground is to serve our fellow man instead of becoming self absorbed in our own needs, difficulties or challenges. I believe Jesus Christ lived this example and has commanded us to follow in His footsteps.
STRONG InCHRIST will post your Prayer Requests to put this quick devotional into practice. SINC believes that all the Theology in the world, without application, is nothing more than a clanging cymbal. So come fellowship. Submit prayer requests. Become an intercessor. Help us build a strong community of believers who care for one another. Let us strengthen the body of Christ, for truly this charge has been placed in our hands by Him who created the heavens and the earth!
Peace & Blessings,
James
