The theme for the year for our
church’s Ladies Missionary Prayer Group is very encouraging:
We do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction . . . that
we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of
life;
Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would
not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead;
Who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He
on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,
You also joining in helping us
through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf
for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.
Think about it! (Wow!) As you pray for
missionaries, you take part in their ministries and in the blessings of answered prayer!
Furthermore, given the example of
Christ Himself as He prayed in the Garden
of Gethsemane
- Recognize the missionaries’ struggle with their own flesh – and be pressed to prayer for them.
- Recognize the missionaries’ struggle against the powers of darkness – and be pressed to prayer for them.
Will you pray specifically for
missionaries? Will you pray specifically for us?
