Our great example and instructor in prayer is the Lord Jesus Christ.

In God's Word, we find everything we need to develop a life of prayer.

Join Scott Pauli today as we study the Bible together.

Have you prayed today? Better yet, have you prayed for someone else today?

Andrew Murray said that he came to view prayer for himself as simply the means of God getting him ready to pray for others.

That's powerful.

To think that the ultimate in prayer is praying for other people, entering in, bearing one another's burdens and so fulfilling the law of Christ.

1st Timothy 2.1, God commanding us to pray intercessory prayer.

I wonder, do you have an intercessary prayer ministry?

You see, that's something you can do wherever you are.

It's something you can do for many people.

Your prayers can go where you cannot.

In recent months, in many places where I've gone, people have come up

to me that I've never met before and have said to me, I just want you to know, I pray for you

every day. I want you to know, there's nothing more humbling and there's nothing more encouraging

than knowing somebody is bringing my name before the Heavenly Father.

I want to talk to you about praying for your church.

Thank God for the local church.

Thank God for a group of believers that join themselves together.

To study the Word of God, to fellowship, to carry out the great commission.

That's what a church is all about.

But I'll tell you, the great churches are praying churches.
