Galatians 6:2 (Week 5)

"Help carry each other's burdens. 
In this way you will follow Christ's teachings." 
(Galatians 6:2)

"Intercession is truly universal work for the Christian. 
No place is closed to intercessory prayer. 

No continent -- no nation -- no organization -- no city -- no office. 

There is no power on earth that can keep intercession out." 

(Reverend Richard Halverson)

And there's no person closed to intercessory prayer. No single person can keep you from praying for them. Believer or unbeliever. Your prayers are not immune to someone's unbelief, regardless of situation or circumstance.

So take that.

You can also link up and dedicate Mondays to prayer on your site, too.  Grab the button and make Mondays a prayerful and purposeful start to your week. Link up below and let's blow up the internet with prayer and praise reports.

Thank you for your willingness to take on another's burden, especially when I'm sure you're saddled with enough of your own. But this I know: "But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you." (Matthew 6:33, GWT) In other words, God will meet your needs, according to His will. All you have to do is seek His kingdom. The rest will come.


Be blessed this week.
