Magnificent Prayer #262
Magnificent Prayer #262
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
John 17:9
Christ’s prayer took in all believers in all ages. Our sympathies, and consequently our prayers, should take in the whole Church of Christ. It is astounding how narrow is the circle taken in by the prayers of the average Christian. Every child of God is my brother and remembered in my prayer. Let us give our prayers a wider sweep.
R. A. TORREY
Pray About It: Today, broaden the scope of your prayers for the body of Christ. Pray for denominations or fellowships that are different from yours. Pray for the body of Christ worldwide—and for the body of Christ of future years. Lay a groundwork of prayer for the church that will protect it from harm and allow it to flourish, winning many to the Lord.
The true church lives and moves and has its being in prayer.
