...strive together with me
in your prayers to God
           on my behalf.

              Romans 15. 30

(It may appear that
we are not be able
       to help by doing,
  but we can pray.
We are not in this life alone.
But God empowers us
   to strive together
      side by side in prayer,
a deeper dimension 
         of loving each other.
Who are we holding up,
strengthening,
encouraging,
and striving with them?
Not “I’ll pray for you,”
but I am praying.)

O LORD,
We strive together 
  with all the saints
to come before You,
strengthened even ourselves 
      in the praying.
We know You always respond 
       in some way
when we cry out to you in despair 
     or praise out loud to You
                  in total joy.
Help us to be sensitive 
    not just to the needs of others,
but to seize the opportunity 
      to come alongside them,       aligned with Your heart
   to bless others by praying.
For Your glory.
In Your holy Name.
