Pray for Everyone - March 12, 2008

Good morning! The mid-week has come for us once more. Feeling tired and ill lately? I think all of us are in our department; this latest bug has become a real problem. There are a few things we can do like, eating right, trying to exercise (difficult when ill), and going to the doctor. However, the best and most powerful thing to do is to pray for each other. Belatedly I began doing that for my workplace last night. I can't help but think that I need to be praying every day, not just during the sick times. How often do we find that we only pray for someone else when they are in some kind of trouble or major illness? We certainly should pray then and with God it is never too late. However, we should pray for each other in love during the good times of their lives. Someone gets a promotion at work, pray in joy for them. Your friend will be getting married, pray for him or her in celebration of their new life. In this lifetime the season of happiness may be fleeting. Troubles follow good times as the stain of sin shows the pain of this world. Pray constantly for our brothers and sisters in Christ, and then pray for those who are facing the world without Jesus in their hearts. The entire world needs our prayer each day.

What a mighty savior we have in Jesus!
