Oh yes! This is good!

More 1 Timothy 2:1

First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people,   source

Petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving.
Strong’s was helpful.

Petitions: Asking, begging, if you please, for such things as we need and lack.  If you will consider this with me, perhaps it is akin to when we sign a petition to support a change we believe needs to be. So, could it be when we petition GOD we are saying we are willing to work with You LORD for this change we are petitioning? This helps me. I hope it does you.

Prayers: That was easy. Addressing GOD. Talking, conversing with GOD. Speaking and listening to GOD; that’s prayer.

Intercessions: Now, this one! A falling in with
Is it just me or are you tracking this with me?
A coming together; to visit. A falling in with.
Could we consider that Intercession is a prayer that says, “Father, I’d like to visit with YOU about this matter for my sister, for my brother, for my friend, for a stranger I saw on the street?
This encourages me. I hope it does you too.

Thanksgiving: Giving thanks, mindful of favors, grateful, thankful
Just as we expected, right? Do you like: mindful of favors? Does that say to you as it does to me in prayer we can and should be mindful of the abundant favor GOD has lavished upon us? Me too!

Until next time ~ ~ ~

Prayer. Thinking about it. And going to it.

Can we agree MUCH is hurtful, unfair, and just flat-out wrong in people; even the people we love?

I want to see transformations. I want to see forgiveness given and received. I want to see families healed and made whole. I want to see marriages lived in holiness – it’s the only way to be happy in them. I want babies (inside and outside the womb) and adults to be loved and valued for who they are – created in the image of GOD. I want people to speak the truth even when it hurts. I want people to hear what was spoken not what they feel was spoken. I want people to know there are absolutes and those absolutes are for our security and well-being. I want people to know no man, woman or child is an island. EVERYTHING we do affects/effects someone else and rarely is it only ONE somebody else; eventually it’s all of us. Have you heard of the Butterfly Affect?

So, I am praying: Abba, I want to help.  So I am asking You to make the changes in me that You can use to help others so we can all be transformed to people who live to please You and not ourselves.  

I dare say we all have people in our lives who we want THEM to change! It has been my experience and I am confident the Bible bears it out: the change we want in others begins with a change in US!

Abba, I don’t know how many times a day I get a notice that more and more ungodly acts have been alleged to have been committed at some time or another. And whether they were committed or not I do not know. But You know. You know the Truth. You are truth. So I am here this morning to say Thank You. Thank You that You know the Truth about all this depravity. Thank You that You love We the People. You love this Country. You have heard the prayers of Your people and You are answering us. So with every hideous sin that is alleged to have been committed by every public figure I give You praise; praise that You are allowing the depravity of mankind to shock us into our great need of repentance. Thank You for being so gracious to us. And, Abba, I pray that our sins will hurt so bad and cause so much pain and agony and grief that we will confess them and repent of them in every house in the Nation, especially the political houses as they seem to be the houses vying for power by any means with no regard for You at all. Abba, I am so sorry. I pray they will repent. I pray Your grace will be received by them and they will acknowledge Who You are and that they are sinners in need of repentance. And I pray that You will get all up in this political mess, expose the truth and the lies and who is guilty and who is not. I trust You to individually exonerate and convict as You know is right. I just thank You so much that You have not left us in our sins but You are calling out to us in mercy and grace and with pardon and forgiveness for any and every one who will repent. Thank You. You are great and Awesome and by Your grace I get to love You. Thank You so much for this. Amen and Amen in JESUS HOLY NAME.

Chazaq!
