Pray

Scripture of the day:
Ephesians 6:18 (Amplified)
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

I want to encourage all of us to pray today.
There are many people who need our prayers.
One such person is my daughter’s online friend, Deborah. She is a teenage girl on a mission trip to Costa Rica. Yesterday she got caught in an undertow and was sucked under water. She was pulled out, but we don’t know if she is ok. Please pray for a miracle for her.

The scripture I chose says to pray for all the saints. Who are the saints? They are our fellow believers throughout the world. There is much persecution of believers in the world. How are we to pray for these people we don’t know?
I believe we are to teach our children about religious persecution, and teach them to pray for others who love our Lord, but how do we do this?
Voice of The Martyrs, http://www.persecution.com/ , has a lot to offer as far as educational things and how to pray for our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world.
There is also a book called “You Can Change The World, Learnign to Pray For People Around The World”, by Jill Johnstone. This book is made especially to help kids know what it is like to be a Christian Child in other parts of the world.
Please pray today, and teach your kids to pray for others.
Also, don’t forget to tell them others are praying for them.

    My pastor has really been calling out for Christians to pray for each other and to pray and weep for your unsaved loved ones. I like the way you word things, you have a nice style of getting a message across.
