How often do you pray for others? What do you pray for? Notice that Paul didn’t intercede for health and prosperity. He prayed for the believers’ character. He prayed that their work and acts inspired by faith for His glory would be fruitful. It is good to pray for each other’s well-being; however, do not neglect more important matters.

To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling.

II Thessalonians 1:11

In order for Christians to be more like God and serve Him with good works, believers need to pray for one another. What people do you know who are standing for their faith? What are you doing for the Lord’s glory that has been initiated by your faith? What more can you do to make a difference for Him in the lives of others?

Pray for all of the workers in the harvest field of America. Intercede that they will be worthy of their calling. Then pray that your work will be fruitful for His kingdom, and for the citizens and leaders of this country to turn to the Lord. Finally, pray that religious freedom will not be quenched in America.
