Prayer requests

Sometimes even the most spiritually mature among us need a little encouragement. Today, I want to post some verses that will soothe our anxious hearts and remind us that He is with us each and every day. 
If He is for us, who can prevail against us?

No one!

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (II Timothy 1:7, NIV)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Praying together in faith is a powerful force in our own lives. It's also a powerful reminder to keep our hearts open to the needs of other believers. We are blessed and strengthened by our time with God, and encouraged by the prayers and compassion of others. Sometimes, though, it can be hard to ask for help. Society today celebrates "self" and "strength from within," without giving thought to the strength of almighty God. When we ask a family member or a friend for a specific prayer, we are reminded that we are not alone - and we grow closer as a body of believers in Jesus Christ.

Let's pray together today on behalf of all those who need the touch of our loving Creator, all around the world. And if you have a prayer request that you can share, please leave a comment so that we can pray alongside you.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
