Pray For One Another
Prayer. Why bother? God's rich gift of prayer in the believer's life is often neglected. Yet our Savior Jesus often visited the Father in prayer. He knew what we, his followers, must discover: prayer is heart-talk with our loving God. Through it we cast our concerns on Him and glorify him as our Provider and Savior. Believers need each other's prayers as they struggle through the journey of life to heaven. Using bible passages from the New testament, learn how to implement God’s gift of prayer.
Passages mentioned: Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Timothy 2:1-4, Matthew 7:9-11, 2 Corinthians 1:10b-11
"One Another" Sermon Series - Part 9
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”
““Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
“He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.”
