Matthew 6:9 ” Your kingdom come; Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”

The very best thing you can do for those you love, is to pray for them. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus praying for others not standing in front of Him…the centurion’s servant, the ruler’s daughter, the Syrophoenician woman’s little girl. His prayers for them were as simple & direct as the Lord’s Prayer was He taught the disciples in Matthew 6…”Your Will be done.” He even went on to repeat this phrase for Himself in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Yet not as I will, but as You Will.” (Matthew 26:39) Praying God’s Divine Will over our loved ones frees God’s perfect purpose to be achieved. For if we admit it, most times we don’t know the full story or details of someone’s struggles…but God does. And just voicing biased opinions of what we think needs to happen is not constructive. But when we pray for someone, we also need to let them know they’re being prayed for…encouraging, supporting, and lifting their spirits knowing someone cares enough to pray.
