"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Bible Verse: 1 Timothy 2:1 "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men."
In this verse Paul uses four of the seven New Testament terms for prayer:
(1) Supplications: which emphasizes personal need
(2) Prayers: is the general word for prayer. The term is always directed toward God with reverence or worship
(3) Intercessions: means "approaching with confidence," suggesting free access to God in
prayer on the behalf of others.
(4) Giving of Thanks: is an attitude of gratitude, the act of praising God for what He does for us
Each of these aspects of prayer should be included in the prayer life of the Church and the Christians Quite Time with God.
In my Bible Study on prayer and from the Book "Love to Pray" a couple of Practical Suggestions were made:
Start--begin now--it's never to late to pray for others. Obey the command of 1 Timothy 2:1. It's not the great prayers we pray; it's the Great God who hears them ("Wow") Don't give up. Keep on praying until God answers.
Pray with friends of like passion. Burdens shared in prayer become lighter. Hearing others pray increases your faith. Prayers multiplied bring about greater effect.
I would like to close with these words from Wesley Duewel, "God blesses the world through our prayer. Prayers enable us to touch God's throne with one hand, the needy world with the other."
Today's Hymn:"Sweet Hour Of Prayer" (verse 1)
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempers snare, by Thy return, sweet hour of prayer
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit Help us to realized as we pray that we pray for our needs, as well as interceding for others. May we praise you for the greatness of your power and the boldness that we have as Christians to boldly come before you with our prayers and intercessions for others, because of what Your Son Jesus Christ did for us upon the Cross of Calvary.
Amen

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
Yours in Christ,
