Prayers for Everyone

Scripture: 1 Timothy 2: I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone–

Observation: Prayers and thanksgiving for everyone. My prayers are very limited and the people I don’t care for I almost invoke a curse. That is not God’s way. He wants everyone to be saved and He asks me to pray for others. How can I say no to the God who loves and saved me.

Application: Examine my prayers and ask who am I leaving out, the homeless person I passed, government officials, my boss or someone that aggravates me. Check my list when I see someone that needs prayer, pray right then for them.

Prayer: My Lord guide me with the Holy Sprit to pray for those you put in my path and those in authority over me.
