GOD WANT US TO PRAY FOR OTHERS

In the midst of Jesus suffering, He prayed fervently, not only for Himself (Luke 22:41-42) but His disciples and us.  Philippians 2:3-4 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your interests, but also for the benefit of others.

We have so much to pray for:  pray for our soldiers that put their lives on the front line every day for our freedom. Pray for the war-torn countries where people fear daily that their family members may not return home. Pray for our Veterans that have lost limbs and mental stability fighting to protect us from the enemies, and have no place to stay in a country they defended.  Pray for the righteous Cops that put themselves in harm’s way to save our lives.  Pray for the firefighters that battled flames, not knowing when they could be trapped and burned to death.  Pray for our teachers that deal with all the different attitudes of our children and the parents that feel like they raised little angles.  Pray for the Doctors and nurses that save lives daily, and have very little time to spend with their families.  Pray for our pilots that fly us daily to and from our destinations safely under all kinds of stressful situations.    Pray for our world leaders that are the fall guys for whatever goes wrong in our nations.  Pray for our Spiritual leaders that are looked upon as unique until they fall from grace and are ridiculed for being human.  But most of all, pray for our lost children that are being sold as sex slaves, gunned down in schools, Malls, raising themselves, and have no hope for a better tomorrow.  With so much going on in this lost world, how could we only pray for ourselves?

Lord, there is so much evil in this world today; we do not know where to begin.  So, Father, we pray for all our children, especially those abused and sold as sex slaves.  We pray for the homeless, those who live in war-torn countries, and our soldiers fighting for our freedom.  Pray for those that gave their lives for freedom and pray for the families they left behind.  Pray for those who are falsely incarcerated and the ones whose lives have been taken by those who sworn to protect us.  We pray for our Spiritual Leaders to stand on Your Word and for those who do not walk in Your ways to repent and turn to You.  We pray for our Nations Leaders to serve You and the people and not their financial greed.  Lord, we pray for justice to be done to those who have wronged others, those who have taken innocent lives.  Father, we pray for all the people who have given up hope of a better tomorrow and those with reprobate minds.   Father, right now, I pray a special blessing over our children; touch the hearts of those who come in contact with them, with compassion, love, and kindness in their hearts.  In Jesus' name, hear our prayer, Amen.
