This Sunday at Church: Listen to and pray for someone’s fears

January 10, 2021 by SLIMJIM

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Listen to and pray for someone’s fears.

I write this post in a week that many in the United States have a lot of concerns and you can see it on social media.  So this might be timely and quite meaningful.

Philippians 4:6 states “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

We must pray.  Sometimes others need some extra help of others ministering to them with their worries.

So begin first by hearing them out.  How do you initiate?  Ask what you can pray for.  Or even more directly: What have you been most concern with lately?

Listen.  Really listen.  Let them talk and you don’t say anything for the first few minutes.  Encourage when you speak.  Then afterwards ask “Mind if we pray about it?”

Then pray.  Pray to minister to the person.  Pray to God biblically.  Pray with compassion for the other person and passion for God.  Invite the person to pray to if you can.  But you should definitely pray.

Don’t waste your Sunday.  Don’t waste your Sunday today.
