Love through Prayer

Bible in a Year:

• Jeremiah 48–49
• Hebrews 7

Pray for those who mistreat you.

Luke 6:28

For years, John had been somewhat of an irritant at church. He was bad-tempered, demanding, and often rude. He complained constantly about not being “served” well, and about volunteers and staff not doing their job. He was, honestly, hard to love.

So when I heard that he’d been diagnosed with cancer, I found it difficult to pray for him. Memories of his harsh words and unpleasant character filled my mind. But remembering Jesus’ call to love, I was drawn to say a simple prayer for John each day. A few days later, I found myself beginning to think a bit less often about his unlikeable qualities. He must be really hurting, I thought. Perhaps he’s feeling really lost now.

Prayer, I realize, opens ourselves, our feelings, and our relationships with others to God, allowing Him to enter and bring His perspective into it all. The act of submitting our will and feelings to Him in prayer allows the Holy Spirit to change our hearts, slowly but surely. No wonder Jesus’ call to love our enemies is bound up tightly with a call to prayer: “Pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:28).

I have to admit, I still struggle to think well of John. But with the Spirit’s help, I’m learning to see him through God’s eyes and heart—as a person to be forgiven and loved.  .

Reflect & Pray

Why is it important to pray for even the difficult people in your life? What can you pray for them?

Loving God, You know how I feel about those who’ve hurt or irritated me. Please give me Your heart of grace and compassion to pray for them, for You love them.

Learn how to deepen your prayer life.

Yo Beachie, November is looking the usual cold and gloomy, at least there's college football. 😁

How are things your way?

[beachn4fun]

Good evening Mayor ((HUGS))
Thanks for sharing the Good Word every day.

[beachn4fun]

Hey Pro

Our weather is like a roller coaster...up, down, up, down.
Had some much needed rain today. But temps have been pretty warm.
Today was in the high 70s.
Tomorrow says 51.

[beachn4fun]

Gotta run.

Time for me to hit the hay.
Please hang around and chat with others.

To all of our Awesome military, our Allies, and their families
THANK YOU
We keep the Canteen open for you.

I'll play catch up in the morning.

Good night.

[Kathy in Alaska]

If it’s not to greedy of me, I hope we both get some more tomorrow! This is my favorite weather pattern. Slow rain with no drama……just soaking into this hard dry ground.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, beachy, for today's Just Hangin' Cafe.

The snow has finally stopped coming down for a few hours.
More than 20 inches on my deck. I've been shoveling for 2 days.

[left that other site]

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOOHOO...you had rain!!

We are up to 20” of snow on my deck, total. I’ve been shoveling every few hours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

More snow. Hope you are warm and snowless.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[luvie]

Oh, my goodness! 20 inches??? That’s like nearly 2 FEET! Try not to overdo it. Do you have a snowblower or would it even work on a deck? Just don’t want you hurting your back or something.
