Even Paul needed prayer for this!

Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:19 for fellow-believers to pray for him that Godly inspiration would be given to him. He also asked for boldness to preach the Gospel. Isn’t that interesting? The great apostle needed prayer for wisdom to speak, and for boldness to share his faith. This is what most of us go through today. This is not a new thing. It is God’s will and desire is that we share the Gospel, but it is an ongoing battle for most people. We daily battle the enemy of our souls who is constantly trying to shut down our witness. We battle embarrassment. We battle the thoughts of what people may think about us as believers. Having said that, this is another reason that we need to pray for each other. We need to pray in this day that God’s wisdom would flow through us mightily each and every day for  the benefit of those around us that need to hear the Gospel. We also need prayer for daily boldness because the only way people will come to saving faith in Christ, is that someone preach to them. Pray therefore every day for inspiration and boldness. God will honor this prayer, and these kind of prayers please God because He sees that you desire to do His will, which is for everyone to hear the good news of the Gospel!

Ephesians 6:19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.

What does your prayer life look like?

The Apostle Paul instructed us to pray always. there is never a time where prayer is not necessary. There are many kinds of prayers that need to be activated today. Supplication for example, is a prayer that is done is earnestly and humbly. Prayer includes sincere requests before God, for family, friends, church, the city, the nation and the world. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God declared: if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. There are prayers that help to heal our land. We really need these kinds of prayers today on behalf of our land (nation). There are prayers for physical healing. in James 5:14-15 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Your prayers are powerful and needed today. Make sure that you spend time daily in prayer. Your family and this nation will appreciate it!

Ephesians 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
