Wind Under Your Wings

"And so we keep on praying for you, that our God will make you worthy of the life to which he called you." II Thessalonians 1: 11 NLT

Since I need a lot of prayer to continue on this quest for spiritual perfection, I love this verse. The prayers from other saints add wind under my spiritual wings. Many times, I felt those prayers upholding my sagging arms. Without those prayers, I could have stumbled back into an old destructive habit. Prayer is a powerful action fulfilling God’s purpose for us all.

Like the Thessalonians, I too keep on praying for others. I know that life is worth living in Christ’s power. From previous experiences, I comprehend that saints layed on my heart by the Holy Spirit were chosen for a kingly purpose.

During your journey through this day, if you sense a tugging on your heart about someone special- stop, listen, and pray. By your prayers, that chosen saint could conqueror a destructive habit or soar to new spiritual heights. Powerful kingly conquests require powerful prayers.
Prayer is a weapon that changes things. Do your children, husband, or boss need a little lifting up today? Are your children wondering off course from God’s chosen path? PRAY! The power for a worthy kingly life is Prayer. Today, start adding some wind under someone’s wings and pray in the name of Jesus for their victory. In return, someone prays for your wind under your wings. Personally, I envision a tornado like wind uplifting all saints into new kingly conquests – a life worth living in Christ’s power.
