This week, as we thank God for the freedom and privileges we enjoy as
Americans, let us also remember to pray for those who have less than we
do- less freedom, less leisure time, less access to medical care, less
formal education, fewer material possessions.
I say this not to
make us feel guilty for being Americans or to make us feel bad for what
we have. I think we should enjoy what God has blessed us with and thank
Him for it. But there is more to it than that. Jesus said "And
from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be
asked." (Luke 12:48b). He wants us to bless others with the blessings
He has given us.
When people hear this, they automatically
think of giving financially to those in need, and that is certainly part
of it, but we can also bless others by investing our thoughts and
prayers in their lives. I pray that this week we will give a little
extra of our time to pray for the Beng and their needs. You can pray as
God leads or maybe scroll back through some past requests and spend some time praying through them.
Thanks for your prayers. They matter.
