CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

I will pray for You

Pray in the Spirit on all occasions…. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. — Ephesians 6:18 A great benefit of the Christian community is that believers in Christ pray for one another. Our reading today urges us to pray “on all occasions” and “for all the Lord’s people” always. This is important because amid all the activities and busyness we may face each day, we’re in a struggle against evil. The forces of evil do not want us to love one another.

Praying for others is a pattern seen throughout Scripture from Abraham pleads with God for the city of Sodom Genesis 18:16-33. Moses’ praying that God would be merciful to his people Deuteronomy 9:26, to various psalms of David, to Daniel’s prayer that God’s people be freed from exile Daniel 9 to the prayers of Jesus throughout his ministry, and to the prayers of his apostles for believers every­where. The apostle Paul, for example, begins his letter to the Philippian Christians by assuring them that he is praying for them Philippians 1:3-6.

There are so many people and situations we can pray for. When someone comes to mind, it may be that the Spirit is nudging you to pray. Praying may come more naturally to some than to others. But all of us can pray for others. All we need is to be open to the leading of God’s Spirit.

How often do you pray for others? It’s an important part of fulfilling Christ’s command to love one another each day. Let your prayer count.

PRAYER

Lord, help me to take time throughout my busy, complex days to pray for someone in love and understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
