A Prayer of Encouragement for Discipling By Meg Bucher “This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.” - Colossians 1:6 NLT “I’ll pray for you” or “I’m praying for you” are common responses to the trials and pains of others. Taking their needs before the Lord is called intercessory prayer, and it’s powerful. But even more so, is pausing to pray for others in the tough moments of life. Whether we take time to pray via text message or pick up the phone and call …stop in the grocery store or pull the car over to close eyes and link arms- prayer is powerful. When we are looking for a way to help, prayer is it. Prayer not only helps us take our needs and the needs of others before the Lord, but it gives us clear direction on what to do next- action steps …follow up. The personal care of actually lifting them up daily even after the moment has passed. |
