This episode continues our quest to learn about The Vitality of Prayer. Grab your Bible, a pen, and some paper and join me as we look at the prayer of the Elder in 3rd John.
This whole letter is directed toward a man named Gaius. The Elder writes a letter commending Gaius for the work he is doing for the Lord. Because of Gaius' efforts, the Elder rejoices to "hear of my children walking in the truth." The short simple prayer is, "Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." (3 Jn. 1:2)
There is a relationship bound up in working for the Lord that causes the Elder to feel very connected to Gaius and those he teaches (3 Jn 1:5-7). A prayer that encompasses the needs of this life in direct correlation to growth in the spirit is an example of being worshipful, full of purpose, and very personal. You CAN pray for good health and financial needs to be met - BUT the focus should always be on the health of the relationship with God. Love for the Lord and our brethren helps us to keep this perspective.
This whole series is to help you see that your messy, muddy prayers are just as worshipful as the ones said in an orderly fashion at another time. God just wants you to PRAY.
Take the time to study prayer so you can be more diligent about prayer. This is your conversation with God! Make it a good conversation.
