“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, praying always for you,” – Colossians 1:3
Apostle Paul was so happy
when he heard that the saints of Colosse were so faithful and loving God truly.
He says in verse 9 and 10 that he prays for them without ceasing for them to
grow in God and be fruitful. Paul prayed for other loved ones so that they may
receive God’s blessing. He supported them through His prayer.
Even in our
relationship we need to pray for our loved ones so that they may grow in God,
receive His blessing and comforted in their sorrow.
In the previous year,
I have applied for a family (Ration) card in the place where I live. The card
will be provided to every family by the Government if we apply for it. As I
have applied I got a token acknowledging that I have applied. I waited for
months hoping that I will receive the card. But I had never received it. I
tried through a person whom I know and finally I was asked to receive the card
yesterday.
I was so happy and
searched for the token I got a year back but I could not find it in my home. I
don’t know how but somehow I had lost it. We searched a lot but yet we could
not find it. Only when we give the token they will give the card.
I was so sad and so I
called my mother and informed her about the issue. She asked me not to worry
and assured me that she will pray for me. Later I heard that she has prayed for
me throughout the entire afternoon. By God’s grace, today I got the card
without any problem.
My mother’s prayer
supported me in the time of sorrow and distress. As she prayed for me, God
heard her prayers and spoke to the concerned authorities so that I can get the
card without any problem.
My dear young friends,
when your loved ones go through sorrow and troubles, do pray for them. When
they struggle to lead a holy life, do not blame them but support them in prayer
so that God will pour out His grace upon them to grow in Him. In every
relationship, prayer does matter. Continue to pray for your loved ones.
