PRAYER
"I'll be praying for you"
March 3 -- Read Exodus 17:8-16
I know that one of the best things that we can do for
anybody is to pray for them. God listens to intercessory
prayer. Many churches today have a day set aside to
pray for others. Write someone's name down that you
want to pray for. Pray specifically for them. The Bible
is full of stories of intercessory prayer. It works
today also. Try it. They will like it.
- Talk to God about people before you talk to people
about God.
- You won't get an answer at God's door if you are
not knocking. Daily Bread
- The greatest thing that anyone can do for God and
another human being is pray. It is not the only thing,
but it is the chief thing. The great people of the
earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean
those who talk about prayer; nor those who say they
believe in prayer; nor those who explain prayer; but
I mean those who actually take the time to pray. S.D.

- And My people who are called by My name, humble
themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 CHRONICLES
7:14
- To those disciples who are willing to live their
lives wholly for God, I recommend praying the Lord's
prayer three times a day- in morning, at noon, and
in the evening. The recommendation may sound too simplistic
for a generation working so hard at prayer, groping
in the dark for mystic edges. We have never given
up entirely our efforts to improve on the way Jesus
told us to pray. We have made prayer fancier, longer,
and sometimes more dramatic, but we have never made
it as deep as the Lord's prayer.

1. How would you ask God, in your own words, to help
someone you are praying for? (That's the answer: just
ask God in your own words. He knows your heart)
