Warrior Prayers...Day Ten


Prayers for Day Ten…

Usually I just want to get to the bottom line.  Tell me what to do and I will do it.  Give me the rule and I will follow it.  In Matthew 22,  a lawyer in Jerusalem also wanted to get to the bottom line:  “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (vs. 36-39)

Love God.  Everything else flows out of that love for the God who created you, who died for you, who has prepared a place in eternity for you. 

Love others.  To grow in Christlike-ness means to grow in love.  Christ loved others.  He did not baby or coddle, but he loved the people.  In love, He met their needs…the most essential one being their need for a Savior.

Commit to praying the following prayers for your sons or grandsons today.
