PRAYER FOR OTHERS

Dear LORD, please help me be a good sport in the game of life. I’m not asking for an easy place in the lineup. In fact, put me anywhere You need me. I will always try to give You 100% of everything I have. If all the hard drives seem to come my way, then I thank You for the compliment, knowing that You never send Your players more trouble than they can handle. I also ask You LORD, to help me accept the bad breaks as part of the game and may I always play on the square despite what others may do. Help me to keep reading and studying “The Book” so I’ll always know the rules. And if the natural turn of events goes against me and I’m benched either for sickness or old age, help me to accept that as part of the game too. Keep me from whimpering that I was framed or that I got a raw deal. And lastly, my LORD, when my final inning comes, I ask for no laurels. My only goal is to know in my heart that I played as well as I could and that I didn’t let You down. Petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men.Therefore, Father, we bring the lost of this world this day -- every man, woman, and child from here to the farthest corner of the earth -- before You. As we intercede, we use our faith, believing that thousands this day have the opportunity to make JESUS their Lord. Father, we know that satan would prevent these from hearing truth, if possible. We are human, but we don't wage war with human plans and methods. We use God's mighty weapons, to knock down the devil's strongholds. With these weapons we break down every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God. With these weapons we conquer their rebellious ideas, and teach them to obey CHRIST.We ask the Lord of the harvest to thrust the perfect laborers across these lives this day to share the good news of the Gospel in a special way so that they will listen and understand it. We believe that they will not be able to resist the wooing of the Holy Spirit, for You, Father, bring them to repentance by Your goodness and love. We confess that they shall see who have never been told of JESUS.They shall understand who have never heard of JESUS. And they shall come out of the snare of the devil who has held them captive. they shall open their eyes and turn from darkness to light -- from the power of satan to You, GOD! PROVERBS 24:30-34 ..." I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest--and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man."...
