我们为别人祈求
昨天我们思想耶稣为我们祈求,这个事实激励我们也为别人祈求。为别人祈求时,我们把他们带到神面前,奉耶稣的名祈求神的祝福浇灌在他们的生命中。
当我们为别人祈求时,我们应该知道,我们的祈求是不会受到时空限制的。在今天的经文中,我们看到保罗为腓立比信徒的感人祷告;保罗是在罗马的监狱中写这封信的,他所在的地方离开腓立比几百哩,但这并不能阻止他祈求神以圣灵的能力充满在那里的信徒。
为别人祷告时,我们祈求神赐他们充足的质源、让衪无穷的慈爱和恩典丰丰富富地降临在他们身上,因为我们知道我们的能力有限,我们无法为别人做到的事,便需要求神为他们做了。
为别人祈求显明我们爱他们,在祷告中我们不挂念自已的需要、只祈求神把最好的赐给他们-甚至赐给那些我们认为是敌挡我们的人。
别人对我们所说的话,其中一句最亲切和最有力的就是“我会为你祷告。”这句话表示,他们希望我们能以只有神才能成全的方式成长兴盛。
今天,神正在引领你为谁祷告呢?
主啊,感谢你,因祢把为我祷告的人放在我的生命中,因着他们的祷告,祢祝福和加力给我,求祢帮助我也为别人祷告。奉耶稣祈求,阿们。
腓立比书 1:3-11
3 我每逢想念你们,就感谢我的神;
4 每逢为你们众人祈求的时候,常是欢欢喜喜地祈求。
5 因为从头一天直到如今,你们是同心合意地兴旺福音。
6 我深信那在你们心里动了善工的必成全这工,直到耶稣基督的日子。
7 我为你们众人有这样的意念原是应当的,因你们常在我心里,无论我是在捆锁之中,是辩明证实福音的时候,你们都与我一同得恩。
8 我体会基督耶稣的心肠,切切地想念你们众人,这是神可以给我作见证的。
9 我所祷告的,就是要你们的爱心在知识和各样见识上多而又多,
10 使你们能分别是非,做诚实无过的人,直到基督的日子;
11 并靠着耶稣基督结满了仁义的果子,叫荣耀称赞归于神。
Our Prayers Of Intercession
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy. . . ." — Philippians 1:3-4
Yesterday we reflected on the fact that Jesus intercedes for us, and that encourages us to intercede for others. As we pray for others, we lift them up to God, asking that in Jesus' name God's blessings pour into their lives.
As we pray for others, it's important to know that our requests are not limited by time and space. In today's passage we read Paul's beautiful prayer for the Philippians. Paul was a prisoner in Rome when he wrote this letter. He was hundreds of miles away from Philippi, but that did not prevent him from asking God to fill the lives of his fellow believers there with the power of spiritual blessing.
When we pray for others, we ask God to pour out his resources on them, showering them with his limitless love and grace. It's because we recognize our own limitations that we ask God to do for others what we are powerless to do ourselves.
Intercessory prayer demonstrates our love for others. We forget ourselves in prayer and seek God's best for others—even those whom we consider our enemies.
One of the kindest, most powerful things someone can ever say to us is "I'm praying for you." It means they want us to thrive in ways that only God can accomplish.
Whom is the Lord leading you to pray for today?
Thank you, Lord, for putting people in my life who pray for me. You bless and strengthen me by their prayers. Help me to pray for others too. For Jesus' sake, Amen.
