Living on Mission – The Gentle Act of Prayer

Living on Mission – The Gentle Act of Prayer

Prayer for others may be the gentlest act on earth. In heartfelt prayer we take our own strength, abilities, desires, plans, and needs and lay them aside as we focus on God’s will, His power, and His ways.

Will you join me right now and pray specifically for all those involved in our Encounter@PoC? Let’s use the words of this gentle, beautiful prayer in Ephesians to ask God to intervene in their lives in His mighty power.

“Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God’s people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.” (Ephesians 1:15-23)

Let’s practice Living on Mission through the Gentle Act of Prayer.
