🙏 Pray for God's Purpose
Scripture:
Ephesians 6:18–20 (NIV)
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.”
Explanation:
Paul shows us that prayer is not a side activity—it’s a battlefield strategy. It’s how we stay aligned with God and empowered for the mission. We don’t just pray for ourselves, but also for others, especially those sharing the Gospel. Prayer connects our armor to action.
Application:
🧎 Keep praying. Don’t wait for trouble to come. Intercede for others. Ask God to use you for His mission, not just for your survival.
