This is the audio from the May 31, 2024 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.
“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
Hebrews 13:16 (NIV)
This week’s prayer emphasis will be about our need to remember, and do, the things God instructed through His Word. The Bible contains many examples of God giving instructions for specific days, feasts, memorials, and other reminders so His people would not forget Him and His work. Even when we know and experience the goodness of God, we need reminders to help us remember to share that goodness with others. This week as we remember the sacrifices made by people on behalf of a nation, 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 sacrifices of those whose lives paid for the freedoms you enjoy each day. Pray that you would remember the things God wants you to never forget. Pray that your remembering would lead to your doing.
“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.”
Hebrews 13:3 (NIV)
As you pray this week, ask God to help you remember. Pray that you would remember how God has always been with you. Pray that you would be filled with compassion as you remember those who are in prison — whether in a literal or figurative prison. Pray that you would share in the sufferings of those who are imprisoned and/or being mistreated.
