Praying Together
Matt 18:19-20

When problems come up, who do we call for help?  If it is electrical—how about an electrician, or an issue with your car, how about a mechanic.  But many would say I would rather fix it myself. 

That last statement is true for many of us.  However many professionals often spot home jobs very quickly especially when they are not well done.   When it comes to prayer, many of us go to the Lord alone in prayer. 

I believe Jesus knew many would do that, and it may be one reason He taught his disciples to pray-together.  In Matthew 18:19-20, He instructs us to pray-together.  When we do, He will join us.  Praying-together is very important.

Take time to examine how you respond to praying with others. Then, consider, this simple thought—If Jesus taught that we should, it just might work. 

Consider this prayer:  ‘Father, help me to start praying-together with others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
