PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
To God be all glory and honor and praise.!!!
Friends, it's been six years since (Oct 2016) I started to write this morning devotion captioned, A Small Morning Family Prayer.
As I step into the seventh year, I thank 🙏and praise God for HIS guidance thus far to carry out this initiative, consistently without a break amidst various challenges and distractions. I am personally enriched by this initiative, as I read through the scriptures to write the prayer, each day.
I thank you all 🙏 for your words of encouragement and for various inputs shared by many of you (whom I have met and not met), "to post it at a particular time each day, to relate the prayer to the current and domestic affairs / day to day challenges etc.," to quote a few, that helped me to improvise it. The scripture says that the Holy Spirit helps and intercedes to pray for one another. May the Lord strengthen us to continue this prayer fellowship in the days to come. Thank you all.🙏
"so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted to us through the prayers of many".
2 Cor 1:11.
Stay blessed...... always. 💐🎊
Regards,
K Harinath
