This is the audio from the March 20, 2024 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.
“The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’”
1 Corinthians 11:23-25 (NIV)
This week’s prayer emphasis will be about some things God wants us to remember. When Jesus ate with His disciples the night before His arrest and crucifixion, He did so in remembrance of the angel of death passing over the children of Israel who had followed God’s instructions. He took that moment of remembrance and used it to ask His followers to remember His sacrifice which has the power to free us from the penalty of death. As we remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, we will also spend time praying about remembering some things that God doesn’t want us to forget. Things that we know, or have known, but would be good for us to remember . . . again. Pray that you would remember the sacrifice of Jesus on your behalf. Pray that you would remember the way of life God calls you to live. Pray that you would remember to put into practice the things God wants you to never forget.
“I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.”
Ephesians 1:16 (NIV)
As you pray this week, ask God to help you remember. Ask God to help you remember to pray for the people He has placed in your life. Pray that your prayers would be filled with thankfulness as you remember others. Pray that God would help you be an example to others as you grow in a life of prayer.
