Devotionals
“Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you….” 1 Samuel 12:23a, (NAS)
As I traveled today I thought about all the people who went into making my trip safe. As I woke up this morning I prayed for the security people, pilots, plane crew and mechanics, knowing that if everyone did their job well my journey would go more smoothly.
In the quiet moments of waking, I have developed the habit of thinking of people I will be working with that day, praying for them and for myself. That prayer might go something like, “Lord, help us to relate well to each other and give us a sense of your order, truth and goodness.”
Recently a co-worker asked me, “You always seem to have such a sense of calm in the middle of all this work. How do you do it?” My answer was immediate. “I pray a lot!” I thought, “If she could only see what I wrote in my journal last night.”
My journal is my way of sorting things out, talking to myself and to God. I had written, “I want God’s presence in my life, so I pray a lot. Praying is one way that I invite you into my circumstances, Lord, and into the lives of people around me.”
Prayer: Lord thank you for the power you have given us to pray your presence into our lives and others.
Thought for the Day: I sin against the Lord when I fail to pray for others.
Prayer Focus: Praying God’s presence into the lives of those I love and work with.
