July 23 - Vignettes on Prayer

 July 23 - Vignettes on Prayer

 

     The topic of intercession is my favorite in prayer.  So later I will dedicate a whole series of vignettes to it.  Scriptures tells us that there are five groups of people we are to pray for.  Three we will talk about in this vignette and then the other two in the next one.  First, rulers and government officials.  In Canada I pray for our national, provincial and municipal.  I pray that God will help them to walk in wisdom, integrity, honesty, truth, accountability and transparency.  This so we can live a quiet and peace life in godliness and truth.  Next, we pray for our enemies, Jesus told us to do this in Matt 5:44.  This help us to walk in forgiveness.  Thirdly, for our fellow Christians.  Paul exhorts us to do this in Eph 6:18, we all face different things and we need to pray for each other.   Just doing these three will keep is busy and our hearts soft.
