1 Timothy 2:8 ~ “I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.”~
Matthew 5:44 ~ “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”~
How many of *y’all like giving gifts to others? I like to give to others, because I love to see people happy. I love seeing their faces light up when they open their gifts. But out of all of the gifts that I have given the most important one is giving the gift of prayer. Praying for others not only blesses the people you pray for, but also blesses you. The next time you are wondering around the mall thinking about what you can give to really make someone’s day, just pray to the Father on their behalf and watch the blessings begin to flow. This not only works for people that you like, but also for those that you don’t get along with. In fact you should even pray for your enemies, (trust me ,I know this is a hard one for many of us to do). For all you know, that person may be going through some difficult times and is more than likely suffering from some past hurt, and they just took their frustration out on you. So instead of keeping the hurt-people-hurt-other-people cycle going. Why not sow and reap blessings by praying and forgiving them? I don’t know about *y’all, but no matter how badly someone has hurt me, I don’t want to see anyone go to hell. Prayer is powerful and it definitely works, but it only works if done with sincerity, faith, and love.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed *Y’all.
