I do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. Eph. 1:16
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would contact people in a spirit of prayer with endurance, praying for those whom they know specifically by name (Rom. 1:9; Eph. 1:16; 1 Thes. 1:2-3).
All mothers know the labor and toil involved in delivering a child. In order to bring forth spiritual children, we have to labor by praying and fasting with tears. Maybe after one month of praying, we would go to see someone. Our going should not be a kind of following our own thought. Our going must be a following of the Spirit. The Spirit will give us the right time to go. If we go two days too early, our cousin may not have an ear to hear us. But two days later something may happen to him. God will do something to sovereignly prepare him to be a good listener. Then we can say a few words to sow Christ as the seed into him. This is the organic way we need to learn.
Today we must have a turn from our skill, our art, to life. The way to turn is to pray, call on the Lord’s name, and confess our sins, our defects, and even all the mistakes we have made toward our relatives, neighbors, and all the ones whom we know and may have offended.
