Here we are.... close to the end....

Ephesians 6:17-19 is where Paul is giving us instruction on the Sword of the Spirit then lets us know that we should get busy praying for others!
First off, I, along with others, have been known to say, "It's the least I can do" when it comes to praying for those around us. WRONG!!! It is the most we can do. To bow before the Throne on behalf of another, remind God of His promises, and come together in the name of Jesus is never the least we can do but instead, is always the very best we can do! So starting now, I am removing that statement from my vocabulary.
Secondly, prayer isn't just helping those you are lifting in prayer but is also helpful for us as well. Instead of continuing to wrestle with a temptation, a lie, or on not sinning, we can refocus and intercede for others.
Prayer allows us to climb off the worry go round and experience the true peace of God that in turn will guard our hearts and our minds. (Phil 4:6-7)
So let's join hearts today and lift up each other and those around us in holy prayer!
March on, my friends, march on.
