I have several of Stormie OMartian’s books on the Power of Prayer. Falling asleep last night reading one, the last words I read were that the most powerful prayer you can pray to be effective in praying for someone else are: “Lord, change me.”

…and I woke up being gently reminded: The Bible exhorts us to “Pray without ceasing.”..and if our hearts are constantly in an attitude of prayer, we are in constant unison with the Holy Spirit. Jesus told His Disciples that He would leave a Helper for them. So for our hearts to be in constant partnership with that Helper is the strongest position that we can face life with, not only for prayer for others but for our own attitude, provision and protection throughout the day. But in order to have that kind of heart that is in partnership with God, the Lord has to “change me” from being devoted to MY ways…into being in Devotion to HIS. 🙂

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 NKJV)
