Praying Together--Connecting--God's Love Present Among Those Praying Together



The more reading I have done, the more seeking the Lord about the condition of our churches, and our nation that I have done, I find a burning within my heart to find ways to encourage people to pray together. This includes Husbands and wives, friends, acquaintances, Churches, Co-workers, and the list goes on. 

What happens when we pray together?  
  • Matthew 18:20 says Christ is present!  “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
  • When Christ is present—God’s Love is also present.
  • When God’s Love is shown—it connects us with God.
If you hear the phrase I don’t connect— that might be because we are not praying together.  When we don’t—God’s Love is fully manifested.
When we pray together, we find according to scripture that Jesus is also with us.  It is because of Jesus and His presence that we can find the Love of God present among us.  The Love that comes from God ties us together. 
I encourage all who read this to take time to meditate on this, and ask the Lord to help us to pray together.
Consider—what would happen to the deep divisions in our country if our politicians—from all parties—prayed genuinely together?
Consider—What would happen in marriages and families if they prayed together?
Consider—what would happen if Churches prayed on their knees together?
There is much to look forward to when we do pray together—much good and blessings.
Perhaps you might want to share how the Lord encouraged you when you prayed with others.
