Read: Ephesians 6:10-20
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance. —Ephesians 6:18
Bible In One Year: Isaiah 53-55; 2 Thessalonians 1
A pastor was asked to call on a woman in a psychiatric hospital and pray for her. After his visit, he thought how good it would be for somebody to go there regularly and pray for the residents. The "somebody" turned out to be him. On a table in one of the wards, he put up a sign saying "Free Prayer." Later he recalled, "Suddenly I had 15 people standing in line to get prayed for."
People often ask for our prayers, but do we faithfully pray for them? Many times we see others in great need but find it easier to discuss their plight with friends rather than to intercede for them. But people need and want our prayers.
Paul concluded his call to put on "the whole armor of God" (Ephesians 6:13-17) by writing, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" (v.18).
Oswald Chambers often referred to prayer as "the ministry of the interior" and said, "There is no snare, or any danger of infatuation or pride in intercession; it is a hidden ministry that brings forth fruit whereby the Father is glorified."
Faithful prayer—whether in public or private—is one of the greatest gifts we can give others. —David McCasland
Oops, I'm not quite as skinny today as I was in the army! I think I'd better go back and take basic training a few times :-)
Great pledge graphic this morning! Thanks for continuing to honor our military.
I'm excited and had to share. I figured out last night that I could vote early at my Town Hall with an absentee ballot. I wasn't going to vote absentee because I didn't want to rely on the postal system to deliver it.
Well, this morning I had to drive right by the Town Hall, so I stoped in and took 5 minutes to vote. I am excited because this was my first presidential election as a registered voter, and it only took 5 minutes!
I would encourage anyone that doesn't want to have to stand in line on Nov. 2nd to find out if this is an option in your district.
Thanks for letting me share.
Hi, TM!
It felt so good voting for our President this time around knowing it was one of the best ways that I could support our awesome Military.
mrs tank, early voting started today in Texas, and I also voted this afternoon - FOUR MORE YEARS FOR THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET!

Thank you. I'm in tears. Tears of sorrow, tears of pride, tears of appreciation, tears of empathy.
