Nehemiah 12-13, Isaiah 40:1-17, Colossians 4
What God said to me – Have you ever noticed that when I gave spiritual gifts and callings that I called some to be apostles and preachers and evangelists and teachers, but not “pray-ers”. That is because praying is not a spiritual gift – it is what every believer should be doing. You may not be able to preach or teach, but you can pray. You don’t have to possess a seminary degree to pray. You don’t even have to be articulate to pray. You just have to be My child. As you spend time with Me and devote yourself to My word and to prayer, I’ll lay on your heart people and things to pray for and about. When you don’t know what to pray or how to pray, My Spirit intercedes for you. Prayer is a fulfilling adventure where you see Me at work and you get to participate in My plan. As you pray, stay alert with an attitude of thanksgiving and I’ll open your eyes to see how “I AM” using prayer needs to work in people’s lives and draw them closer to Me.
