DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 13:1-23; Isaiah 52:1-12; 2 Cor. 12:14-13:14

I exhort therefore, that…intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. 1 Timothy 2:1
The Spirit…maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26

We don’t pray for each other as we ought. Our text indicates that this ministry is vital. So many of God’s people are struggling these days. What a blessing to be able to support them in their distress. Are we not sure what to say? Our God knows that and says His Spirit intercedes for us. —Ken Gross

O how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day,
So in sorrow or in gladness,
Don’t forget to pray. —Mary Ann Kidder
