Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical. net.

Philemon, verse 4, says I thank my God always,

when I remember you in my prayers.

I love this language. we see it numerous times in Paul's

letters to churches and individuals specifically to individual here

Philemon who he calls our beloved fellow worker from him and Timothy,

and he says, Fleman, I thank my God, always, when I remember you in my prayers.

And as I read that, even as I say that right now, always when I remember you in my prayers.

And as I read that, even as I say that right now,

I'm just thinking of different people

that I pray for, who I'm so thankful for.

And this is the way prayer for others should work for us to as we intercede for other

for other people thank God for other people to thank God

for his grace in them, for us, especially as brothers and sisters in Christ,

to see each other and pray for each other with a heart of thanksgiving for each other. With a heart of Thanksgiving for each other.

Just thinking of different people today that I've prayed for and you can't see my face.

I'm just smiling.

I'm thinking about how thankful I am for them and so I want to lead us to pray

accordingly and obviously I don't know all the the people in your life but

let's just let's just pray and I'll try to kind of leave some space for the spirit to lead you in specific ways when it comes to specific people.

But oh God, we thank you for people in our lives who love us, we love, we have the privilege of sharing life with for the people we know really well, for people that we've just met here or there or people from a distance who've had an impact on our lives.

God, we thank you for the effect of other people, for the effect of your grace in other people on our lives.
