Yesterday, I wrote about praying for strangers. Today, I've been dwelling on a verse a read during my devotions.
"We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers." (1 Thessalonians 1:2)
Paul is just opening up his letter to the Thessalonian believers. But, he makes sure to let them know that he is thankful for them and "continually" lifts them up in prayer. This got me thinking...
Who am I "continually" mentioning in my prayers? Of course, I always pray for Emily, my family, my church...you know, the typical stuff. But, am I consistently praying for other believers...whether they are near or far?
I thought about it this way...when was the last time I prayed for the people of Elkhart Trinity or Yorktown UMC? These are places I used to be a part of...but, sense I left, I haven't really given much thought to either place in my prayers.
Anyway, I think God is trying to lay the question, "Who do you pray for?" on my heart.
