Prayer Starter - Tuesday, August 12, 2025 Pray for One Another

 

 1 Timothy 2:1  “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.”

James 5:16  “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

2 Thessalonians 1:11 "With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith."

The Power and Purpose of Praying for One Another

Prayer is more than a personal conversation with God—it’s also a powerful expression of love, unity, and support within the body of Christ. Throughout Scripture, believers are encouraged to pray for one another, not only as a sign of spiritual maturity but as a way to strengthen the bonds of Christian community.

When we pray for others, we shift our focus from our own desires to the well-being of our friends, family, and community. This act of intercession reflects the heart of Christ, who consistently demonstrated selfless love. It’s through this kind of prayer that we participate in God’s work in the lives of others—seeking His guidance, blessing, and healing on their behalf.

The Bible makes it clear that God values community and togetherness. James exhorts believers to confess their sins to one another and pray for each other’s healing, emphasizing the effectiveness of sincere and fervent prayer. Paul encourages us to pray for all people, reminding us that our prayers should extend beyond our inner circles to include the wider world.

Intercessory prayer builds unity, fosters humility, and invites transformation. It strengthens faith, brings comfort in hardship, and serves as a channel for God’s peace and healing. When we pray for others, we align our hearts with God’s will and take part in His mission of restoration and love.

Praying for one another isn’t just a practice—it’s a calling. It’s an essential part of Christian fellowship, and it has the power to deepen our relationships, uplift the weary, and bring about real change in both our lives and the lives of those we pray for.

Dear God, Thank You for bringing us together. Lord, we want to turn the focus off of us and look to our friends and family, and even to the wider world.  Lord, I lift up to You my concerns for my family, specifically I pray my grandchildren will know You as Lord. (You pray for your specific family needs).

Holy Father, I also want to pray for my church friends. I pray they will always be close to You. Father, I feel like many times my church family members, as well as I, are feeling out of touch and we are not in-tune with You. Please bless my church family with a spirit that lifts us up and gives us the energy to serve You.

I am praying specifically for a church friend, named ----------.

I pray they will not lose hope.  I pray this person is touched by Your Spirit and serve You for the rest of their lives.

Begin jotting down your friends and family you want to pray for and let's add those names to your list as we pray for One Another This Week.

In His Name, Amen

Prayer Starter Monday 4-7-25

Today's Prayer Starter Good morning! As we begin this five day journey of praying specifically to build our relationship with God, let's start with a prayer of adoration. In Psalm 8 , David prays a prayer of adoration.  "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, You have established strength because of yor foes, to still the enemy and the avenger." You can read the entire Psalm, but this morning use David's prayer to help you tell God why you believe His name is majestic in all the earth.  Try it! Still need some help.  Here is my morning adoration prayer to God: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!  You have given me a good night's rest, good health, and a desire to spread the love of Jesus today.  Walk with me O Lord and let your light shine from me today!

Prayer Starter - Thursday, June 26, 2025 Pray for a Helicopter

Good Morning, I hope you won't be offended, but I want to share an old joke with you that drives home an important point regarding what the Bible tells us about prayer and trusting in God. A religious man was trapped on the roof of his house during a bad flood. He prayed to God to save him. Before the waters were too high, a neighbor drove by and offered to take him in his truck before the water rose. He declined the offer and said "God will save me."  As the water rose, vehicles could no longer drive by and a Fire & Rescue crew came by in a boat. Again, an offer for rescue and again, the religious man said, he would wait upon the Lord.  Finally the water is destroying the house and it is near the lower levels of the roof. Another rescue attempt this time by helicopter, offers to whisk him away to safely and he declines, relying on God to save him, only to die in the great storm. In heaven, the man confronts God and says, "Why didn't You save me?" To whi...

Prayer Starter - Thursday, October 23, 2025. God’s Faithfulness in Every Season

Image
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." As we grow older, life often brings unexpected challenges—health concerns, changes in relationships, and the reality of life's brevity. But in all the seasons of life, one thing remains constant: God's faithfulness. In the book of Lamentations, Jermiah the.prophet, reflects on a time of great sorrow and hardship. Yet, he still finds reason to hope. Why? Because God’s faithfulness is unwavering. Even when circumstances seem difficult or uncertain, God’s love and compassion never fail. His faithfulness isn't dependent on our circumstances; it’s rooted in His unchanging nature. If you’ve walked with the Lord for many years, you’ve no doubt seen this truth play out in your life. Perhaps you’ve experienced moments when you thought you couldn’t go on, only to see God provide in ways you never expected...
