Encouragement

How do I encourage others?  How do I show my love for Jesus, the Lord and Master of my soul, my Savior?  In Philippians 1:9-11 Paul shows the readers that through prayer the Christian brother can support and encourage fellow believers.

Pray for the guidance of God, daily.
Pray continually, like a constant conversation. (Be the teenager on the iPhone)
Pray in generalities when specifics are hidden.
Pray with a broken needy heart (constantly examine what you want to say, think, believe)

Philippians 1:9-11 explains how to pray for others. Request

a growing love for God which reflects a growing love for others
increasing knowledge in the pathway of God
understanding the right standing with God
seeing evil for what it is and choose to follow the Good of God
being refined like the refining process of gold as we continue to wait for the return of Jesus
praising God continually with thoughts, actions, and prayers.

During this time pf enforced captivity, seek the guidance of God and ways to give Him glory, honor, and praise.

This is my Father's world

 

Isaiah 40:31

Those who hope (trust, depend on, believe) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,  they will will walk and not be faint. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your path straight.(Proverbs 3:5-6) Blessed be the name of the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord always.  

Thirst after the pure Word of God

This is my Father's World And I rest me in the thought that though the wrong seems oft so strong GOD IS THE RULER YET. Depend on the Most High Creator Lord God who loves you more than human thought, words, or actions can express.  Let His love flood through your life and surround you.   Daily give your life to the control and guidance of God.
