Encouragement and Prayer: Full of Joy! (9/5/23)

~

This is the audio from the September 5, 2023 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
John 10:10 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis is on having a great full life . . . and a grateful life.  In fact, it is our grateful life that leads us to a recognition of the great full life God has called us to.  God’s desire is that through His Spirit we would overcome the schemes of the devil so that we have life to the full.  In God’s family, a full life isn’t always one that goes like we want in the moment . . . but it is one that leads to eternal fellowship with God.  As you pray this week, ask God to help you grow in understanding of what a full life looks like from His perspective.  Pray that He would help you to recognize the work of the enemy which is trying to destroy you.  Pray for the courage to pursue life in Christ that endures beyond the temporary nature of this world.  Pray that your grateful, and great full, life would be an example for others to grow in faith and relationship with Jesus.  Pray for humility as you share the abundance of God with people.

“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.”
John 17:13 (NIV)

Pray that you would know the great joy of being prayed for by Jesus.  Pray that your pursuit of God would fill you with joy as you look forward to eternity with Him.  Pray that the people around you would see the joy of the Lord in your life.
