Moving From Praying Alone to Praying With Others

August 24, 2021 by Rosemary Welch

This is the 8th day, and I have been quite busy. I’m going to post the other days I missed today. My apologies. Today’s focus is on praying with and for others. It is easier for me to remember who and why they may need prayer if it is written down. Find what works for you. Today’s verses: Isaiah 26:3 and Joshua 1:9. Have a blessed day.

How are you doing? Are you sore from training? Don’t be too hard on yourself if you find it difficult. We are sharing these thoughts from a place of praying every day for decades. And we still struggle.

But this is prayer bootcamp. You chose to do something hard. You have grit, and you can do it.

Today’s challenge moves us from praying alone to praying with others. Are you ready for it?

Step 8:  Pray Scripture over someone via text or card.

This can be super simple. Here’s a sample you can follow. 

Dear _____, 

I have been thinking of you. I’m praying for God to give you peace.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 KJV

Sincerely, 

_____

How are we kept in peace? By keeping our mind… steadfast…
What does that mean? Merriam-Webster defines steadfast as being “firm in belief.” We can be firm in our belief that God will take care of us no matter what we go through. As we are determined to believe that God brings peace, we will increase in our confidence that He is enough. And we can help others find God and discover peace.

Go ahead and take a minute to send a text or write a note to someone. But don’t get distracted. Get back here and finish the plan for the day or consider writing a sticky note or setting a reminder for later.

Dear Heavenly Father God,
Continue to increase our boldness as we choose to deepen our commitment to prayer. Put someone on our hearts who needs to be encouraged today. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.

Isaiah 26:3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Joshua 1:9. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
