This is the audio from the May 21, 2025 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.
“While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’”
Matthew 17:5 (NIV)
As we grow in following Jesus, our prayer focus this week will be on knowing Him. We often think of the various aspects of Jesus as expressed in the Christmas story, but it doesn’t end there. In fact, without the life, death, burial, and resurrection, the birth of Jesus is little more than an interesting event in time. We celebrate not just a baby being born, but the coming of God to redeem mankind as He reconciles us to Himself. Pray that your celebration of Jesus would be magnified by who Jesus is in your life today. Pray that you would be clear about who Jesus is, and what He has done for you, as you share Him with others. Pray for a greater desire and practice of celebrating Jesus each day that you live. Pray for a spirit of unity among brothers and sisters in Christ as we grow in our love for one another.
“Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.’”
John 6:35 (NIV)
As you pray this week, ask God to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. Pray about how knowing Jesus as the bread of life will help you to be filled and satisfied. Pray that you would be generous in sharing the bread you have found with the people around you who are in need.
