After I wrote again last night on the subject of prayer and the person (s) that pray for us this final thought came to mind. If you are truly blessed to have someone that prays pure, true, and clean prayers on your behalf then you have a true gem and treat them as a true gem. If you had a very special and rare precious stone you would not throw it in a corner and cover it up would you? If you are a woman you would cherish it and wear it every opportunity you had right? Bless the person that prays these prayers for you. Do not hide your gifts under a bushel basket and your thanks also. Never forget to thank them for taking time out of their busy day to think about you and your prayer concerns. Someone that prays really is putting their own moments of time aside and reaching heaven just for you that is pretty awesome when you think of it like that right. You are blessed, you are blessed, you are very blessed to have someone like that in your life.
If you have no one like that in your life currently then pray to God that He would bring someone like that into your life and in the meantime while you are waiting then you become that type of person for someone else in your life. People can always use prayer and who would not cherish the thought that you prayed for them today. Prayer is very important in a person's life. You can start out with simple prayers that always begin with thanksgiving. When I begin a prayer that I am praying with someone in person or on the phone I always start with thanksgiving, you can always find something to thank God for in your life. If you are not sure you can surely thank Him that you are alive that very day and He has called you to do something with your life. If you start off with thanking Him for His goodness and mercy and kindness too it is amazing how Holy Spirit will just pour the words you are to pray for the other person you are praying for and all you have to do is speak forth the words you are hearing in your spirit. It amazes me every time that when I pray with someone (I truly like to do it this way, praying directly with a person I have found that Holy Spirit just flows and at the end of that prayer you can step back in amazement that He would speak the very words that person needed for that very moment in their life.) The majority of the time they will respond and thank you for the words you prayed and that is what they needed in that moment. You then should always give the glory to God because you were truly just the vessel to let the words flow through you for the benefit of the other person and while the words are flowing you may find that there are words He tucks in their just for your life too. Do not be afraid to pray with another. There is no greater joy in my life when Holy Spirit gives me the opportunity to pray with another person, words cannot describe the joy from stepping aside and letting Holy Spirit flow through you to another.
Try it, I encourage you to just try it today, if you are at a loss for words then start out with one of my favorite prayer's and Holy Spirit will be faithful and bring forth the rest of the prayer for that very person that very day. Do not be afraid to suggest that you would pray for them if you feel that stirring inside of you remember He chose YOU to bless that person and if you open your mouth He will even give you the words to speak forth in the asking if they need prayer portion of the conversation.
Here's that favorite prayer of mine:
"Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever amen."
Now, what I do do at times is in the beginning of the prayer I get all caught up in Him and His holy name and I begin to start thanking Him for His kindness, He is justice, His protection etc. Just bless the Lord in speaking to Him what He is to you.
