Worship is important. In corporate worship in church is where God calls us back to be strengthened and renewed. He reminds us that there is no danger, or pain, or poverty, or evil, or death that can conquer us.
Worship is our fortress. God’s Word is our life. Holy Communion is God’s embrace, and salvation and heaven is our constant worship prayer.
And our worship forms a new prayer. It is the prayer that others would come to know the hope and joy, the courage and strength, the life that God gives us in Christ. Others, like family members, friends, and neighbors.
Pray for the people in your lives who need God, who need to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. God is at work, in and through those prayers. Have no doubt. Keep praying for your friends or family members. Pray for your faithfulness and strength in whatever you are facing.
It may seem like nothing much is happening. But, God IS working. And He is working quickly, because the time is short. THIS is what Jesus is teaching us, today. Be persistent in prayer, in these things “always pray, and do not give up.”
