To all you longhauler prayer warriors here

Ephesians 1:15-20 ESV For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ.

I hope this is encouraging and received as intended. Hopefully a gift from our Father to some in this time as we honor our ultimate gift. I have been part this sub for several years now. I’m home a lot especially in the winters and am blessed to have the time to be present and active here. I’ve noticed a few things along the way. I do study and read in many different related subs but when I decided to start actually contributing here I felt led to not be distracted elsewhere. I love to see what the Lord is doing in and through this group over the years. The first thing I noticed here is that this group is one of the most pleasant, kind and respectful of the popular prayer request subs and it’s an honor to be in your company. I’ve noticed here also that there are many individuals who faithfully come here to pray for others and rarely have requests of their own. Interceding faithfully for others even with their own burdens and needs. Wounded warriors as I’ve heard it said. It’s you who I hope to encourage. You know who you are. The Lord would have you each know in new ways that He has heard your prayers and has heard your hearts cry. In your worship and through your prayers for others He has heard you. Be encouraged as He reminds us again that He will be faithful to complete the good work He has begun in us. Continue to delight in Him, continue to seek Him first, continue to keep your eyes on Him and He will be faithful to you in your deepest longings and prayers. Rest in Him deeper knowing that He has not forgotten you. You will see justice, healing and restoration in His perfect love and timing. Pressed down, shaken together and running over.

In His love, humbly and gratefully, your brother in Christ Jesus. Merry Christmas –
