Pray For Everyone - 1 Timothy 2

S - 1 Timothy 2:1 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.
O - Paul says to pray for ALL people. We are to give thanks for them and intercede and ask God for help for them.
A - It is real easy to pray for people that are close to me and mean a lot to me. However, I need to get over any feelings of hurt or selfishness and pray for ALL people. Even those that may hurt me or my family or those that I see throughout the day that look like they need help or are hurting. I need to focus my eyes on others and curb the selfishness that I have within me. One of the best ways to get rid of selfishness is to pray for others continually and another is to offer people this business.
P - God, I thank you for this word today. I praise you and lift up your name and stand before you in awe. I pray today for those that are hurting in life, for those that need a miracle for healing. Give me your eyes Heavenly Father to see people as you see them and to have a heart for everyone. Bless the leaders of our country, the leaders of our state, the leaders of our church, the leaders of my work, and the leaders of our community. Give them wisdom to guide those under them in a way that is pleasing to you and will not hurt anyone. I pray Lord that you would watch over my family and me today and bless us tremendously. Put people in my path that need help and give me the strength and courage to reach out and help them.
