Praying God’s Word Wednesday #26

by 10 Comments

It’s National Coffee Day and I have a cup of Toasted Coconut as I open my Bible this morning.

 

In Matthew chapter 26, Jesus has found Peter, James and John sleeping when He had asked them to keep watch and pray.  In His disappointment after they let Him down during a troubling time, Jesus said:

 

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.  The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.  Matthew 26:41 NIV

 

A friend pointed out about this scripture that “anytime we choose sin we fail to consider the future.” 

I sit so convicted of the ramifications of my sin on my life, but the passage also impressed on me that each time I sin, I fail my Savior as the disciples did.

Prayer:

 

He is so gracious to us in our mistakes and confessions.

 

Replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

 

Praying for you in this.  And don’t forget to share this on social media or with a friend who could benefit.  It would mean so much to me.  And if you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.

Praying God’s Word Wednesday #25

by 6 Comments

A loved one I regularly send scripture prayers to, blessed me this week.  She texted a passage and prayer to me and I asked permission to share it with you all.  So for a nice change of pace, here is something Stacey Cartlidge, LPC prayed over me.  I hope it blesses you too.

 

…for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us.  They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead – Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.  1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

 

Prayer:

 

I can’t tell you how much it means to have praying friends and I’m asking God to provide one to each and every one of you.
