Others
Timothy, I thank God for you—the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.
2 Timothy 1:3 NLT
The writer of this letter, Paul, prayed for his best friend, Timothy, every day. I know Paul spent more time talking to God than most of us (which could be part of the reason he got more out of life than most of us). Two things seem to happen each time we pray for others; 1) God hears us 2) We become a little less self-consumed and ‘me-centered’.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Heavenly Father, help me talk to You more and more for other people’s needs and concerns. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
