JOINED IN PRAYER

ROMANS 15:30-33

30I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. 31Pray that I may be kept safeb from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s peopled there, 32so that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed. 33The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

15:30 Too often we see prayer as a time for comfort, reflection, or making requests to God. But here Paul urges believers to join in his struggle by means of prayer. Prayer is a weapon that all believers should use in interceding for others. Many of us know believers who are living in difficult places in order to communicate the gospel. Sending them funds is part of joining them in their struggles, but prayer is also a crucial way of being with them. Missionaries strongly desire the prayers of those who have sent them out. Do your prayers reflect that struggle on their behalf? Tyndale. Life Application Study Bible

ON THE WAY HOME WALK WITH JESUS and may our prayers include those who are working to bring the Gospel to new people.
