Pray for your family

Prayer thought for today

Prayer reminds us

I received this good reminder today.

Are you close to Him today?

Wayne Watson - Somewhere In The World.avi

January 1, 1994 Wayne Watson recorded Somewhere in The World. At the time we had a 6 year old son and one on the way. This song became a favorite for my wife and I as we started praying for the future wife of our two sons. Take a minute to listen to this song and start praying for the husband or wife of your children today.

Have you talked to God today?

God's Word Calls Us to Pray

One key reason to pray is because God has commanded us to pray. If we are to be obedient to His will, then prayer must be part of our life in Him. Where does the Bible call us to prayer? Several passages are relevant:

"Pray for those who persecute you" –Matthew 5:44 

"And when you pray …" –Matthew 6:5

"This, then, is how you should pray …" –Matthew 6:9

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." –Romans 12:12

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." –Ephesians 6:18

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." –Philippians 4:6

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." –Colossians 4:2

"Pray continually" -1 Thessalonians 5:17

"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone …" -1 Timothy 2:1

Prayer is an act of obedience. God calls us to pray and we must respond.
