You Are Not Alone, Someone Is Praying

You Are Not Alone, Someone Is Praying

By: Juliet Constantine



Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim 2:1)
 

It is comforting to know that you are not alone in your struggles, whatever they may be. It is so strengthening to know that someone is agonizing with God on your behalf. Someone, somewhere, is dialing Heaven’s emergency number on your behalf. Someone is praying for you.

In the moment of His agony, when He needed so badly to touch Heaven, Jesus took some of His closest disciples to watch and pray with Him. He really needed their support. Can you imagine His disappointment when He found them sleeping? That’s the worst thing that can happen to anyone – when you are depending on someone to be there for you, to help you bear your burden, to remain at knee city with you; instead they choose to be on side/back city instead. But He was not alone. God sent angels to strengthen Him. Praise God.

As the dark clouds around me gather, God has been sending His angels to strengthen me, especially when it seems I’m all alone and my heart would break in two. He has provided strength and my spirit is buoyed as I press on. I know many friends have been praying for me – some had made it know. Some called and encouraged me. For others, I am in their prayers every morning. My friend Pat wrote me a touching note and prayer to let me know that she has been praying for me. It is so reassuring to know that I have friends who prayed. Your kindness, in one form or the other, is truly appreciated. I must keep on hoping for a breakthrough. The Lord has already spoken, “peace be still” and I know help is already on the way! Even though my ship has been tossed and battered, I will not loose hope. Someone is praying for me.

You too may be facing your storms. You are not alone. Remember someone is praying for you. Help is already on the way. So, hold on! Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Just as God sent help for His Son in the hour of need, your help is coming. Take courage. You are not alone.

Dear God, my Father and King, thank you for sufferings. Thank you for being with me, for sending help in one form or the other to strengthen me. Please continue to send help to all your children and give us the confidence to know that we are not alone, that you are with us always. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Job: The End

What can we learn from the end of the story of Job? Does Job have a happy ending, or is he still awaiting his happy ending? What can this book teach us about human suffering for those who love God? Does God bless us in the here and now? What are the rewards of trusting God? Who can we depend on when family, friends, and acquaintances turn their backs on us? Is death truly the end of life’s story? How can the second coming of Jesus impact how we relate to hardship and difficulties in our lives? Did Job understand the doctrine of the resurrection?

 

 

 

To Remember Or Forget God

Matthew: Peter and the Rock

What was the relationship between Peter, Jesus, and the church? How should we understand Jesus' words that upon the rock would he build his church? Who was this rock? Protestants and Catholics have long debated this passage but what secrets do the Greek manuscripts hold that make the matter more clear? In this study John Spellman goes into depth explaining the passage Matthew 16:18 in a way you may never have heard before. Why does it matter who Jesus is to us? Why is it important that we see Him as the rock?

Suggested Reading

Love Found A Way
The love of God never ceases to amaze me! His love is so stubborn and relentless. His love knows no measure. His love found a way to reconcile mankind to Himself! He turned away His own wrath by sacrificing His own Son, Jesus!! Isn’t that amazing? And what’s even more amazing is that Jesus Himself loves us just as much, and is ready and willing to forgive us of our sins. Jesus did not delegate this responsibility to humans – the responsibility to forgive sins. He is our High Priest. He encouraged us not to sin but just in case we did, He was our advocate with Father God. We are only required to confess our faults to each other!
Leave Mary Alone
At Jesus’ going away supper, while others dined and conversed with Him, Mary, out of sheer gratitude, felt a compulsion to anoint Jesus. So she anointed His feet using a very expensive ointment, and her hair was the towel. It was nothing strange to anoint dead bodies, but it was a strange sight to behold the anointment of a living person. Some thought it was a sexual advancement and were very critical of her, others thought that she broke protocol and was being disrespectful. It would seem that no one, except Jesus, was grateful for what she did.
Hosanna
It’s seems like we are created to confront, complain, and murmur. Instead of praising Him in the good times and the bad, we praise only in good times and complain in the bad times. We play when things are good and pray when times are hard. We limit ourselves by looking only ‘as far as the eye can see’. If we allow ourselves to see farther, I know our responses would’ve been different. Short sighted vision will rob us of continual praise, and constant shouts of Hosanna.
