 I Cor. 13:2

PM#0188

Por qué ora la mayoría de la gente?   La primera razón por la cual, la mayoría de nosotros puede relacionarse con la oración, es generalmente por una necesidad urgente de peligro o crisis.

Éstas son razones legítimas, pero me he hallado a mí orando aparte, por otros motivos. 

Ese motivo hace que deje de orar por mí mismo, a orar por otros. Esto ocurrió porque mientras aprendemos​ a amar a Jesús, aprendemos a amar a los otros. Ese amor me guía a cómo​ orar. El amor no ora para controlar. Busca só​lo lo mejor para la otra persona. I Cor 13:2 dice que sin amor no somos nada. Debemos orar en amor por los demás y cualquier cosa que hagamos, será hecha a través del​ amor. 

Qué acerca de ti?  Has permitido que el amor de Dios guíe tus oraciones?  

Padre, mientras crecemos en tu amor, que sea este amor el que guíe nuestras oraciones. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.

Reflexión

Por qué debe ser importante el amor en nuestras oraciones?

 Qué hace que el amor nos ayude a orar?–Un amor verdadero que proviene del Dios de Amor.

¿Podemos ser engañados pensando  que cuando oramos de manera que creemos que es por amor-en realidad proviene de una clase de ​ amor que no viene de Dios?

Prayer—A Way to Show God’s Love

I Peter 5:7

Did you know that prayer is a way you can care for people?

When someone has a need, many will ask what can we do?  Sometimes it sees like there is nothing we can do to physically provide for their needs.  But when we involve ourselves in prayer for others, a lot can happen.  Our prayers can invite the power of God to help them.

The Bible says in I Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care on Him, for He careth for you.”  Prayer is a way we can do this for others in need.

Dear Heavenly Father, may we care for others by bringing their needs to you.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

Reflection questions:

I Peter 5:7 says to cast all our care on Jesus.  If we pray for others is this a way to cast care on Jesus?  It is a way to show that we care?

Will our prayers invite the power of God to help them when the help asked for is in accordance with God’s word?

Why would God’s word instruct us to cast our cares on Jesus?

PM#0188 Praying Out of Love I Cor 13 vs 2

Praying Out of Love

 I Cor 13:2

PM#0188

Why do most people pray?   A Primary reason that most of us can relate to is, there usually is an urgent need like danger or a crisis.  These are legitimate reasons, but I have found myself now praying out of another motive.  That motive moves me from praying just for myself to praying for others. This came about because in learning to love Jesus, we learn to love others.  That love guides how I pray.  Love does not pray to control.  It seeks only the best in the other person.  I Cor 13:2 says that with out love, we are nothing.  We must pray in love for others, and anything we do must be done through love.

How about you?  Have you ever let God’s love guide your prayers?

Father, as we grow in your love, may that love guide our prayers. In Jesus' Name, amen.

Reflection:

Why would love be important in our praying?

What does love –a true love that comes from loving God—do that helps us pray?

Can we be fooled into thinking that what we pray—that we when we pray in a manner that what we think is out of love—that it might actually out of a type of love that does not come from God?
