I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1 Timothy 2:1
Many times throughout any given week, I will receive a text message from a friend that says something like this: "Just wanted you to know that I am praying for you today! I love you and hope you have a blessed day!" Then emoji hearts and kisses fill the rest of the text message.
Talk about a huge dose of encouragement!
There is just something about knowing that someone is praying for you that allows your heart to be full!
And because such an action blessed me, I in turn, find myself sending out 'Text Blessings' to those ladies I pray for during the week as well!
Just yesterday I received a response to such a text, and it said this: "Do you know that I wondered if someone was praying for me, because I have had such peace, joy and closeness to the Lord today! Thank you!"
What a blessing! It's the power of prayer! It's edifying one another and lifting each other up before the Lord!
Our Friend who sticketh closer than a brother is praying for us too. Hebrews 7:25 tells us that Jesus is constantly interceding on our behalf.
Knowing my Saviour prays for me, motivates me to pray for others~
But that's just me!
