Hello everybody, and hello to the wonderful person reading this!
On the prayer series today we will be learning how to pray for others. Join me in prayer before we begin if you don't mind.
LORD, I thank You for this day, and for waking us up this morning. I ask that You would bless each and every person reading this and that You would help them as they continue in this prayer journey. Anoint this message I bring that You have so kindly given to me and help me to get the point across. We love You LORD, and ask this in Your Precious Holy name, Amen.
When someone asks me to pray for an unspoken request, I completely understand! At first, I didn't know how to go about praying for these unspoken needs, but the LORD revealed it to me! He told me to pray for God to simply meet their needs. God knows, we don't have to know, and that's the reason that people ask us to pray for them in that way, they know that God already knows.
I would like to explain how to pray for a few scenarios, and if you have anymore questions feel free to comment or email me with them!
If someone asks you to pray for them, or someone they know for healing, in your own way of course this is a prayer you could say, LORD, I come before you today, and You said in Your word that if we would ask believing that we would receive and we do ask, believing that You would heal this person, Your child God, and like is says in Your word, by Your stripes they are healed. We thank You in advance for this healing Father, in JESUS' Precious Holy name, Amen.
Important Note *In prayer it is so important to quote scripture, it's like writing a paper on an article you need to cite evidence, to prove you've read it and possibly believe it. Quoting scripture is your way of proving we believe what we have read.
For another example, someone asks you to pray for a financial need, a nice prayer could be: God, I come before You today asking in JESUS name that You would please meet this financial need according to Your will and show them LORD to put You first and You will give them the desires of their heart. Please show them God that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ JESUS. We know this will be done and we believe it, in JESUS Precious Holy name, thank You Father, Amen.
One last example will be when someone asks you to pray for a test they have to take. Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You today, thanking You for *insert persons name* and that they are able to see that I pray, and would be willing to pray for them. I ask that You would bring the answers to their remembrance and give them wisdom that only You could give. Help them to give 100% during this time and throughout their life to honor You, in JESUS name I pray, thank You God, Amen.
I hope this helped you and blessed you and if there is anything I can do to help, or maybe make things more clear, feel free to comment or email! My email is kadesiaowens50@gmail.com
God bless you,

The Simplest of Prayers
Today, I would like to share with you a very easy, yet vital prayer activity called the Five Finger Prayer. You can either do this just by yourself or you can also pass it along to others your age, younger or even older friends, family or whoever God lays on your heart as well. Attached I will have a free printable of this prayer that can also be colored to make it more fun!
Prayer is so important to our every day lives, this is just something very simple, probably very easy to memorize and activities are fun for all ages, am I right?! So let us begin, have you got your hand ready?
Your thumb will represent your family and friends. You can pray for them if they're doing really good, that they will continue to feel the way they do so they can help lead others to the cross when they are asked about their joy. You can pray for the lost loved ones or friends, or the sick. Whatever you feel on your heart to pray for them, whoever it may be, do it. God has laid it on your heart, and there is always time for prayer and who couldn't use a prayer every now and then?
Your index/pointer/first finger represents the ones who lead us. This is our teachers at school, or bosses at work etc. The ones who lead us can also be in control of situations that are tough for them to decide and can mean someone might lose a job, or get their pay docked, and that leader may not like that so we should pray for their strength to be increased and we should pray to the one who is in control of everything!
Your middle finger represents our government and authority. Right now we could especially pray that God would lead and guide our president and in coming and we would come together as a nation again in peace, and pray for one another that we would see the truth.
Your ring finger represents the weak, sick and afflicted. This could include anyone we know afflicted, the cancer fighters, our soldiers, anyone that comes to mind, go ahead and feel free to pray for them even if you get off track you can get back on just remember your time with God is valuable and He cares and is listening, no one is going to judge you because it's your time with God!
And lastly the pinky finger, this is yourself. Pray for strength, wisdom, peace, patience, whatever you are needing, let the LORD fill you up. Like I said, this is your time, you don't have to worry if He is getting tired of you or anything of that sort, ever; because He is not! The Bible tells us to pray to God for these things. We should always go to God in prayer about everything, and don't leave yourself out! You are very important and there are others praying for you but they don't always know what you're needing like you do and only God can give you that! Sometimes we just need time with God alone, to really truly hear what He has to say about and to us!
God hears us and answers us in His time, in His ways, so we cannot worry about things not happening immediately when we pray because it's all about the one who knows everything, He knows when and how to do things, so do not be discouraged.
In the Bible, it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to pray without ceasing! The Bible also has so many other scriptures to ensure that we know the vitality of it! Click here to see those scriptures.

I hope this blessed you and encouraged you and maybe gave you some clarity about how to pray or what to pray for! May God bless you and keep you, have a blessed day!
