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.

Missionaries: Peter and the Gentiles

What can we learn from Peter's outreach to the gentiles? How did it contrast from Paul's? What can we learn from the story of Cornelius and the conversion of his friends and family? What important lessons did Jews of the early church have to learn? What might that mean for the church today? Does culture or race matter when it comes to salvation? This week as we explore these lessons we'll look at the stories of early gentile converts to Christianity.

Discipling Spiritual Leaders

God chose spiritual leaders from the, seemingly, most unqualified followers. Why? What made them the best choice? How did Jesus go about choosing the apostles who would lead His church? How should we choose spiritual leaders today? How did Jesus prepare His apostles for the challenges ahead, and what might that say about how our spiritual leaders should be prepared? We explore these themes in this week's lesson.

Suggested Reading

Trading Places
Our God, who is all-wise, knew before the foundation of the earth that man would fall. He made arrangements for Jesus to trade place with us. Our Father knew that our heredity tendencies would be sinful but we could be nurtured into righteousness. We can be nurtured (through teaching and loving) back to Him. So He sends Jesus to show us how. This is so assuring, it’s not who I am now but who I can become through Christ.
Glorify And Be Glorified
Sometimes we hear a message, or might have read a passage, but the real meaning of what was read or said seems to have missed us. It might have been the same with the disciples then; but praise God, they eventually understood His messages. He came to be the sacrifice for all people; not just Jews. The hour came and Jesus Christ was glorified. When Jesus spoke of being glorified, He spoke of His death. He knew that only His blood was the true price for our ransom from sin.
The Sanctuary In Me
I love a clean space! Be it my house, car, Church, or wherever I may be - I just love when I am in a clean and well kept space. When I cleaned my house from ceiling to floor, it is so much lighter, I think clearer and I sleep better! I love a clean house, not just for Sabbath but for the entire week. Everything must be clean and in order. It makes chores on Preparation Day so much easier. It takes time, energy (a really sacrifice) to keep your space clean. But it pays. And to think Jesus’ expectation of us is similar: for us to keep our bodies ‘clean’ everyday!
