GBC Community Update: Want a mature prayer life? Pray for others!

7/5/2022

0 Comments

 
​Good morning!  Thanks again everyone for your prayers for Rebekah. As you likely found out if you’re on the prayer chain, she was able to get in for her second procedure first thing Monday and it went very well. She’s feeling much better and is now preparing for her exam on Wednesday (so if you can pray for that, I’d appreciate it too!).  Its so great to be part of a church family that prays for each other!  That’s one of the MANY things I love about GBC.
 
 
Wonderful Wednesdays in Prayer @ 7:30 PM
Come join your fellow believers in praying biblical prayers for one another, for our neighbors, and for the City of Guelph.  Patrick Thornton is hosting prayer at GBC every Wednesday at 7:30 PM and using Paul’s prayers as a guide for prayer. 
Don’t miss out on the privilege of calling upon our Heavenly Father together! 
 
 
Thought for the day: Steps Towards a Mature Prayer Life- Pray for Others
When you pray for others, you are taking your eyes off yourself and focusing on others who need God to enter into their lives and situations. Praying for others also allows you to intercede on behalf of another person.
Not sure where to start? Here are some ideas:
Pray for your family members
Pray for your friends
Pray for our city and the challenges it faces
Pray for an unreached people group
Pray for the persecuted church
Pray for hardships you have seen on the news
Pray through the directory and for the ministries of our church!
It really is a privilege to pray on behalf of other people and bring their needs before God. This helps us to stop focusing on ourselves but to focus on our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and for people who do not yet know Him.
Paul wrote this to Timothy: First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people…(1 Timothy 2:1)
Got that! Makes sense, right?  Well then, lets get to prayer.
 
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
