So someone tells you this, but the question is “what are they praying?” So often our prayer requests center around our aches and pains and troubles. These are certainly good things to pray about and many Bible accounts detail God’s gracious answers to our cries for help. Yet, how often do you pray for, or ask for prayer of, someone to become more loving, deeper in knowledge, more pure, more discerning, and more like Jesus? These are the prayers we are exhorted to pray and to ask for others to pray for us. They may sound quite high-minded and loftily religious but they are in actuality the down-to-earth concerns of ordinary people who follow an extraordinary Lord. Would you come this Sunday and join with all God’s people as we seek to understand the desire of God to meet and enrich us in every aspect of our lives? We are in His heart!
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Patrick
