FAR BE IT FROM ME!
My prayer life is and an essential part of who I am! There are many things and that are important to me, but few things are this important! There are many actions we deem as sin, but you are probably not likely to think of this as sin. Listen to this quote from the prophet Samuel:
1 Samuel 12:23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.
Colossians 1:9 So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.
2 Timothy 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.
God has strategically placed people in our lives for us to influence and care for. I believe that God expects us to lift up to him those we are responsible for. May we be those who care so much about the ones around us that we are faithful to lift them up to God, trusting God's very best for their lives! Are there those in your life that you know need prayer? Take time right now to lift them up. Pray for them as if they were your own child or spouse. You can be sure that this is important to God and I’m sure you are with me on this… this is one sin I do not want to commit! Yes...
