Magnificent Prayer #6
Magnificent Prayer #6
We must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35
What ministries are in our hands for working miracles in the wonderful realm of prayer! We can take sunshine into cold and sullen places. We can light the lamp of hope in the prison-house of despondency. We can loose the chains from the prisoner’s limbs. We can take gleams and thoughts of home into the far country. We can carry heavenly cordials to the spiritually faint, even though they are laboring beyond the seas. Miracles in response to prayer!
JOHN HENRY JOWETT
Pray About It: The result of all serious prayer before God is that we sense God’s heart toward others. He daily sends those who need a miracle across our path, but unless we’ve been with God, we don’t recognize His divine appointments. Today pray that God will direct someone across your path, someone to whom you can minister in a practical way.
From your place of prayer, export sunshine to the cold and sullen places. Light the lamp of hope. Loose chains.
Prayers for people are far more important than prayers for things because people more deeply concern God’s will and the work of Jesus Christ than things.
