Daily I'm asked to pray for friends and I add them to my list and am willing to stop and pray with friends for their family and friends families. I was approached today to pray for a friends son who is leaving for Iraq. I'm telling you that is such a moving request knowing my son at 11 someday may want to serve his country and being so close to our veterans and Purple Heart recipients here in Missouri, the reality and brutality of war is so powerful and heartbreaking. We need to stop and pray for our armed forces and families that are going through stress, worry, sorrow, loss, fear and loneliness while they are away from their families. My heart goes to everyone and I pray like Paul did for his brothers and sisters in Ephesus. That they could know God and with his amazing and boundless love that their lives could be without fear as they give up their worries and problems to God to handle because he can handle all the junk as big as it might be he can handle our sins as there is huge Grace waiting for all of us. As we trust in him we are freed and left to be ourselves to serve and bring Glory to his name. I love you guys! If you know anyone in need that is hurting, reach out. Show them the love of Christ that knows no color, no race, no sex no boundaries.
Ephesians 3:16
16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
If you have a need to be prayed for ... ask ... reach out ... cry out to Jesus first then reach out to your friends like me and others that love you.
