Pray
Pastor Henry read from 1 Timothy 2:1-7 this morning which begins with this verse, "The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. " Paul is urging Timothy who is a church planter in Ephesus to make prayer his first priority because God wants everyone to be saved and to know the truth that there is one God and the only way to Him is through Jesus His only son.Who do you normally pray for? Who else is God calling you to pray for this week?
I try to pray for everyone, but in the normal course of a day, I pray most for those near to me and much of the time, myself. In the second verse of today's text, Paul told Timothy to pray for the rulers. I am reminded to pray for those in power so they can keep the peace in the world so we can also live in peace. How about you?

I thought the visualization we did while praying was helpful. I always appreciate reading through the verses that are preached on more than once too. I am always wondering about a prayer life that prays without ceasing and what that means. I am always looking for ways to be reminded or called to prayer during the day or night. I pray for my family, especially those who don't know the Lord.I pray for MCC and our pastors. I pray for the people and world around me in need. But I need to spend more time in prayer just letting God love me and loving God back. I think some of the exercises Sunday demonstrated that love. They also demonstrated our God as one how sees and hears us when we pray. I am still learning.
