Never stop praying, especially for others (Ephesians 6:18; CEV).
Every day, when I post my blog, I pray for those who will read it, for those who will only glance at it, for those who won’t be exposed to any prayers, and for those who don’t believe in God. This can sometimes feel like a heavy task, because of my ongoing illness and fatigue, so I’m wondering if any readers might like to share it.
One way to do this would be to develop the habit of praying briefly for others just before, or after, reading each new blog.
Here is a short, lighthearted poem that could be used:
Praying for others
Bless all those who read this prayer,
And all those, Lord, who don’t.
Bless those who will pray today,
And all those, Lord, who won’t.
Bless those who can grasp your love,
And all those, Lord, who can’t.
Bless those who are seeking you,
And all those, Lord, who aren’t.
Alternatively, some readers might prefer to use their own words:
- Pray for those who visit this website. Ask God to bless them, and to enable them to find something here that helps them.
- Pray for those who glance at the day’s prayer, but dismiss it immediately.
- Pray for those who never pray, and for all who don’t believe in God. Ask him to bring back those who have strayed, and to draw many new believers to himself each day.
Whatever the approach, I would deeply appreciate any prayers said for those who visit this website, and for the countless millions who don’t.
Prayer is the link, Jesus is the answer! Let His light shine in the hearts of all who read this post today, may they pass it on to those dear to them, Amen.
God bless you and sustain you Ruth, Amen.
Oh, what a lovely prayer, Alan! This is exactly what I mean. Thank you so much xxxxx
