Daily Prayer - The prayers of others

Good Thursday morning, my friends.
 
Have you ever considered how the prayers of others, on your behalf, have affected your life?  I know that others were praying diligently for me before I came to faith.  Would I be where I am today, living under grace rather than condemnation, if it were not for those prayers?  Probably not.  Even now, I know that a number of people pray for me on a daily basis - what an amazing blessing that I take for granted all too often.
 
Who have been the prayer warriors in your life?  Have you thanked God for them?
 
And who are the people you could be praying for?  With whom do you want to "rejoice in eternity"?
 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce 
 
 
Abba, thank you for the prayers of others on my behalf,
those times when someone's prayer--unbeknownst to me--
has encouraged me, healed me, delivered me, or empowered me.
 
How many times in my life have I unknowingly been saved because someone--somewhere--prayed for me?
 
How many prayers have turned back some disaster that awaited me?
 
How many moments have been shot through with blessing and loveliness because someone spoke my name to you?
 
Whether close or distant,
from a friend or stranger,
long or short,
thank you for them all.
 
How I will rejoice in eternity to see the record of all who have prayed for me, and how much I owe to them.
