Pray For Everyone Every Day - Todd White - Inspirational
I really enjoy listening to Todd White. He was a drug addict and atheist for 22 years. He was at the point of suicide when God came into his life and set him free.
Hope you enjoy listening to him as well.
This & all of the videos I post are only my opinion & views/values. Not made to act better than anyone else, only hope they can inspire someone as they have me.
"The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.”
Prayer is so important that Paul told Timothy that it needed to be the first thing he did. And Paul didn’t just tell Timothy to pray for the people he liked, or to only pray for other Christians. Instead, Paul told Timothy to pray for everyone he knew, including the rulers and government officials.
If Paul were writing to us today, he would tell us to pray for everyone. This includes your friends, yes, but also bullies, people in jail, people who have a lot less or a lot more than you do. He would also tell us to pray for our government. It doesn’t matter if you agree with the leaders’ decisions, Paul would tell us to pray for them. He would tell you to pray for your teachers and your principal, even when they make decisions that you don’t like.
Prayer is powerful. Prayer has the power to change the world. Prayer is our conversation with the God of the Universe, and we know that God listens to us. Prayer can change the heart of a bully so that they stop hurting others.
It can change the lives of people in jail. Prayer can change anyone. And it also changes us. When we pray for others, it is harder to hate them. When we pray for those who bully us or disagree with us, we remind ourselves that God created them just like God created us.
Prayer can change their hearts but it also can change ours. We pray for everyone so that our world can change. We pray that others will see God so that their hearts can be changed like ours were. As you pray this week, pray for your friends and for your family. But also pray for everyone you know, the people you like and the people that you don’t. And pray for our leaders, that they will know what is best for our country.
Amen
Timothy 2:1-7. From The Message: “The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so that we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live. He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we’ve learned: that there’s one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us—Jesus, who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out. This and only this has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth.”
