Mid-Week Prayer, July 30

A reflection on prayer:

"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.  Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."            - John 14:12-14

This is a promise pertaining to Christ's Kingdom in the world.  This is promising that if we pray for the spread of Christ's fame and honor in the world, if we pray for more people to know him and be brought into his Kingdom, if we pray for the flourishing and good health of the church, if we pray for Christ's healing touch in the world... if we pray for his Kingdom to spread -- This is a promise that if we pray prayers along those lines then we will see Jesus operate powerfully in our midst.                                       -- Jeffrey Lancaster
