The Privilege of Prayer Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 45–46 1 John 2 Give my Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, statutes and decrees. 1 Chronicles 29:19 Today's Scripture & Insight: 1 Chronicles 29:11–19 Country artist Chris Stapleton’s deeply personal song, “Daddy Doesn’t Pray Anymore,” was inspired by his own father’s prayers for him. The poignant lyrics reveal the reason his father’s prayers ended: not disillusionment or weariness, but his own death. Stapleton imagines that now, instead of speaking with Jesus in prayer, his dad is walking and talking face-to-face with Jesus. Stapleton’s recollection of his father’s prayers for him brings to mind a biblical father’s prayer for his . As King David’s life ebbed away, he made preparations for his Solomon to take over as the next king of Israel. After assembling the nation together to anoint Solomon, David led the people in prayer, as he’d done many times before. As David recounted God’s faithfulness to Israel, he prayed for the people to remain loyal to Him. Then he included a personal prayer specifically for his , asking God to “give my Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, statutes and decrees” (1 Chronicles 29:19). We too have the remarkable privilege to faithfully pray for the people God has placed in our lives. Our example of faithfulness can make an indelible impact that will remain even after we’re gone. Just as God continued to work out the answers to David’s prayers for Solomon and Israel after he was gone, so too the impact of our prayers outlives us. Reflect & Pray How have someone’s prayers made a significant impact on your life? How might you encourage others with your prayers? Heavenly Father, I bring my loved ones before You and ask that You would work out Your plans in their lives.

I have had people tell me of their concerns for the salvation of loved ones and that nothing they say or do seems to reach them. I encourage them to stop "preaching" at them, and pray. Pray that God sends workers across their paths that they will listen to, more than to them. And then to share with others, because they are someone else's loved ones, and maybe they won't listen to that someone either. Pray, sow, water, and let God reap the harvest. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I know of a couple in Canada, who reached out to people around the globe to pray together at a certain time every day....... As I heard the group of people that join is growing bigger and bigger. It is not a cult. In their daily lives they work as an investigative journalist and scientist in economics and finances. I haven't looked into the details of praying. All I know, is about sending energies to the universe for peace, humanity........ and that the Good will prevail. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi

For me, because I have received Jesus as my personal Savior, I believe it opened the line of communication to God called prayer. I talk to Him like I would talk to an earthly Father, and I receive comfort and strength through that communication. It isn't all one sided either, but I cannot explain in a few words how God communicates back to me. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
