Trading Places

Good Morning!! No matter how bad you think you have,...there are people that would gladly trade places with you. The best way to move beyond your own issues is to help someone with theirs. When work problems get me down, praying for others lifts me up and out of my funk. So many people are struggling with addictions, diseases, financial problems, and troubled relationships,...some have several at once.

"Join me in my struggle by praying to God for me."—
Romans 15:30 (NIV)

God hears our prayers and understands that we want what is best for those for whom we are praying. Our prayers form a circle of blessing around us and the people for whom we pray,...and we can more easily put our own problems in perspective.

When we pray for others, two people are blessed,
...the person being prayed for, and the person doing praying.



Sweet Spirit of God, help us as we seek to intercede on someone's behafe today. Help them to find resolution to today's problems. Give them appreciation for the natural beauty of your creation around them. Surround them with your healing presence and fill them with joy. In Jesus' name, Amen.

"The fact that God makes good out of our wrong does not make our wrong right."
