“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.”Colossians 4:2 NLT
Prayer is essential, the more you do it the more you know you and others need you to pray. Paul knew the power of prayer, he goes on to ask the Colossians to pray for his ministry , that it would be effective. Praying for our leaders is important as it makes them effective and focused. Complaining or criticising does nothing but tear us away from our churches .
My pastors have been on a holiday and I am glad they did. Last Sunday saw us waiting on God more, allowing time for singing in the Spirit. Whilst they and I hunger for more the congregation has to be brought along gently.
I have been praying for our church and that we would make room for the Holy Spirit. Complaining would not have brought this. Last night as part of the music team we learned a new song, the presence of God is in that song, Firm Foundstion. As we introduce the song this Sunday we will see the Holy Spirit move .
Praying for the hurting, praying for the babies, praying for missionaries and the persecuted, our government, our friends and family are all vital.
Become a person of prayer today. The kingdom of God needs you to link arms. Amen!
