Devotions from God Pause: Prayer has the capacity to reshape our hearts and the world around us, especially when we intercede for those whom we find difficult to love or respect. Addressed to Timothy who had been close to the Apostle Paul, the author encourages believers to make praying for everyone, especially those in authority, a priority. Likely written toward the end of the first century when persecution of Christians was prominent, this command would have been daunting. The author states, prayers should not be based on the worthiness of the leader, but on God’s desire for peace, justice, and the salvation of all people. What if instead of complaining or gossiping about someone, you turned to God in prayer for them? And maybe, you are the person that someone sees as needing prayers. Through prayer, we affirm our common need for a Savior, who bridges the divide between us and God. This week, when someone frustrates you, pause and offer a prayer for their well-being rather than venting about them to others. Join us for Meeting on Monday!  The coffee pot will be on.
