Thursday Devotional - Prayer Yesterday


Thank you to those who were able to join us at any of the locations yesterday!   

We in Ann Arbor were told to move See You At The Pole™ to an offsite location, so we met at the flagpole and walked to an off-property spot.

After a time of praising and thanking God, we read through the following passages before each section of prayer specifically for our company, leadership, co-workers and ourselves.  

I Timothy 2:1-4   I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Leadership/bosses
Ephesians 6:9     And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
Co-workers
Ephesians 1:18    pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.
Ourselves
Ephesians 6:5-8  Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
Closing
Ephesians 6:18    18 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. 

We can use these verses (and others) to remind us to continue to pray for our company, leadership, co-workers and ourselves!
