Bible Verse for August 13th.

We always thank God for all of you, and pray for you constantly.

1 Thessalonians 1:2

NLT Bible

We don't live isolated lives. People interact with us all the time and it's important to always thank God for them and to continually lift them up in prayer. The list includes our loved ones, friends, co-workers, neighbours, doctors and even strangers. The greatest gift we can give to people is to pray for them, asking God to bless, guide, protect and provide for them always.

God doesn't want us to be selfish in our prayers. Some people spend all their time praying for themselves, with little or no thought about others. We are not to be self absorbed in our prayer time. When we lift others up in prayer, things begin to happen in our lives. Anytime we think of someone, a prayer of thanksgiving should instantly be uttered. 

Thank you Lord for the people in my life. I'm so thankful for the many ways in which they've touched my life. I pray that you will continue to bless and keep them and meet their every need. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
