I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. John 5.19
One of the first things Jesus always did was looking at the father and seeing through that what he had planned. Jesus went many times away to pray. Prayer was his intimate time with the father. It was the times when he got refilled and just refreshed by having time with his father. Another reason I believe he did that for, was to really see how the father sees each person he gets in touch with. Just think at the different people Jesus got in touch with. Some of them were seen as rejects of society and were not really loved, but he showed them a love they never saw just by being with them. Others were well respected people and they felt his love as well.
When we have Gods heart for people we see them different. We start to see the whole person not just a little piece. We also create a deeper love in our heart for that person if they are on our mind more often. And caring about someone is really key to show hope!
So lets start today and pray for your immediate neighbors.
- Ask God in your prayer to help you see them the way he sees them
- Pray for wisdom on how to pray for them
- Ask God for inside on how to pray for healing and restoration they might need.
- Ask God how you can become a great friend to them and how you can show his love to them.
Hey our friend
What a week in San Francisco. Almost every day was full of rain, which in some way is not nice, but in a drought area it’s a blessing. We had some great time reconnecting with everyone and being able to spend time. We also had a great start with the students.
Please join us this week in praying for people that are sick and had to go to the hospital. We had a few people here in our neighborhood like that and I am sure there are some in your area too!!
Thank you for praying and remember to pray for your neighbors! Prayer changes the world!!
