Praying for Others

PM#0107

Col 1:9


What do you look to for guidance? Is it horoscopes, people, or what? Did you ever think we need guidance when we pray? If we believe in Jesus as our savior, then we should look to the Bible to guide our prayers. The Apostle Paul prayed that we would have wisdom. Col 1:9 says "For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding."



This prayer of Paul's is a scriptural example of a prayer. There are others in the bible, there to guide us. I believe that God wants us to use these prayers when you pray and you will have God’s blessing for those whom we are praying. Using these prayers when you pray for others, you will see a blessing in their lives, and by using scriptural examples, we will have the benefit of seeing God's best as a blessing for those whom we are praying.



Father, may God fill us with the knowledge of His will, and may it guide our prayers. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
