Day Six: Praying 4 Others


Day Six: Praying for Others
     Ephesians 6:18 instructs us to be "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints".  It is my honor today to stand with friends in The Prayer of Petition and Supplication!  I serve a God who stands ready to hear from us, knowing the desires of our heart and delighting in meeting these according to His Riches and Glory!!  I also rejoice in celebrating God's Goodness as He enlists All of Heaven to Move on Our Behalf!!  So it is with great joy that I quiet myself before the Lord this evening, boldly approaching the Throne of our Abba Father in thanksgiving for those in my life that trust me enough to come alongside them!  This week, I commit to PARKing in Prayer with you as we look to the Author and Finisher of our Faith, our Great Physician, our Rich Daddy, our Best Friend and Greatest Support!  
     I want to share some of my favorite resources on Prayer!!  Sometimes, we have a need and don't know how to pray.  Have you ever found yourself even wondering, "what is the point"?  It is hard to look to God as the Solution if you only know Him as the Source!!  Let me encourage you with some tools that bless me in strengthening my relationship with God, so that I can boldly come to Him!
  1. The Bible - The Word of God
    This is thee best resource for prayer.  When you find yourself with questions and concerns, turn to God's Word and see what He has to say about it!  Praying the Promises of God over your life changes everything!
  2. Confessing God's Word by Dr. Maureen Anderson
    A Powerful Source of Scriptures organized by topic, allowing us to Speak God's Word over our lives!
  3. Stormie Omartian's books on The Power of a Praying Wife, Mother, etc!
    The Power of a Praying Wife changed the way I prayed for my husband, and I've watched God move in mighty ways as a result!!  She, too, lovingly structures The Word into prayers that support us in praying with Power, especially when we're having a hard time praying at all!
  4. Pastor Keith Moore at Faith Life Church in Branson, MO offers tons of Free Downloads on their website!  I LOVE to hear what He has to say on most any topic, consistently finding a Huge Blessing to my soul!!
  5. What Prayer Does to Your Brain
    A video outlining "New Scientific Discoveries that Shine Light on Health Benefits of Praying"
  6. Prayer Pail
    I found this fun blog post on an Excellent Tool that we can implement in Supporting Our Families in Praying on Purpose!!
  7. YouTube Praise & Worship Playlist
    This is a compilation of songs that I enjoy playing while I am praying!
     Theses are just a few Favorite Resources that continue to Bless Me, and I trust will be a blessing to you as well!  Please know that I cherish you, and this opportunity to prayer for you and with you!!  I purpose to make this a weekly time, and look forward to your Prayer Requests so that I might continue to stand with you!!  Likewise, I will look forward to your Praise Reports as we rejoice in the Good Things!!  May you be blessed as we PARK together!!  All My Love, Nanette
