Prayer Topics for May - Please PRAY with us.

Prayer for Others - Thinking and praying about what could or maybe should - appear on this Prayer List for May I felt led to use the Internet and typed in "Prayer for Others" - this is a shortened version of what I found and hope you will find it helpful, too:

"The Gospels tell us that when we ask for things in Jesus' name then the Father will grant us our request. 'In Jesus' name' means things that are in accordance with God's will and character - we can pray as hard as we like for material things, but we cannot really expect that those kind of prayers will lead us to riches! Perceiving more and more of God's character and nature will help us pray the things that are on Goods agenda, and away from the shopping list of requests that we may have started with.

it is fine to pray for our basic needs, and Jesus teaches us in the Lord's Prayer to ask the Father for our daily bread, or to satisfy our daily needs. So when we pray for other people our prayer might focus on the character of the person we are praying for, asking God to make them more like Him, that they might grow in the fruit of the spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, generosity, faithfulness and self-control. (see Galatians 5, vv 22 & 23).

As we pray it may be helpful to have a picture in our minds of the person we are praying for..."

- that is if we know the person who fits the name on the list. If we don't, maybe it would be helpful to make a point of finding out who's who in our Corps - perhaps we could try over time, to say "Hello" to someone we perhaps only know by sight. It's surprising how many potential friends we might discover with such an exercise.
God bless you.

During the Sunday evening meetings at approximately 6:30pm we have a period of intercession, when we remember and pray for members of our corps, who are ill and unable to attend the meetings. We hold the intercessions at the same time each Sunday, so that the people who we are praying for can join us in pray.
