Ephesians 6:18 - "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"
Let me take this time to thank everyone who has been lifting me up in prayer and holding me accountable. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Every army needs support. The world uses money to support their troops. God uses prayers of others. Prayer is key to victory. This verse tells us to pray for other saints. We spend so much time giving our "Cosmic To Do List" that we don't make the time to pray for others. We begin to pray and next thing our mind is brought to our own needs, our own problems, our own circumstances, and we pray for "Me, Myself, and I". Support must be given to OTHERS by prayer.
I have begun a new tactic in my prayer time, I try NOT to pray for myself until I have prayed for others on my prayer list. I try to put others FIRST. This is difficult, I have found myself praying for others, then all of a sudden I have found a way to put me in there somewhere. Once I realize what I have done I ask God to forgive my selfishness and continue praying for others. I challenge you; today pray for OTHERS FIRST. God will bless and give you clarity in your own situations.
