Pray Together

     Jesus took time to pray with His Father when He was on the earth. He would often venture off to solitary places to pray. I hope you do the same. Along with praying alone with Jesus, it is comforting to ask others to pray for us. And, even more powerful, is to pray together. Jesus promises us; He will be there.

“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”  Matthew 18:20

     Ask others to pray with you. Pray with your children before they fall asleep. What a blessing to let them know that Jesus is right there with them throughout the night. He listens, and He works, and He intercedes with us in heaven to answer us. Heaven is filled with the incense of our prayers.

Let my prayer be set before You as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.  Psalm 141:2

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.  Revelation 9:4

Father,

Thank You for the privilege of prayer. Let the incense of our prayers rise up to You today.  You are there, in the midst of us, when we gather to pray, in the name of Jesus.

Amen
