Passage

Hebrews 10:24-25

English Standard Version (ESV)

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

This is Journey with Prayer, a prayer journey corresponding to our

previous episode.

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love

and good works, not neglecting to meet together as is the

habit of some, but encouraging one another

all the more as you see the day drawing near. Hebrews

1024 to 25, taken from the ESV.

Heavenly father, creator of all and the

embodied essence of community and love.

And we gather in your name, grateful and humbled by the wonders of your

grace. We declare your sovereignty and thank

you for the eternal truths that guide us, your

presence, your word, and your steadfast love that

never ceases.

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of companionship and the many

ways you mold our character through the relationships and communities

you place us in. May

we be better attuned to the ways we can encourage and uplift one

another, spurring each other on towards love and good

works? In a world

that sometimes can feel isolating, remind us to

seek communion, to share the joys and

shoulder the burdens of our fellow sojourners, reflecting your

love in all we do. We lift up those

around us, asking for your strength and wisdom to

permeate our interactions. May our

gatherings be reflections of your kingdom, spaces where grace

abounds and every individual is honored as your cherished creation.

And in the quiet places of our hearts, may we be transformed

by your spirit, growing even more in your likeness,

more loving, more giving, and more courageous.

We pray for those who feel isolated, that they may be

enveloped in a community that echoes your love, And for those

facing challenges, that their bonds of fellowship would be a source

of strength and comfort. Guide us as we

walk this journey to be your hands and feet in a world that so

desperately needs your touch. In Jesus' name,

amen. So as you

go through your week, I wanna encourage you. Take the time to

reflect. Reflect on Hebrews 1024 to

25. Consider how you might stir up love and good

works within your community, and then engage.

Join or initiate a community gathering where you can practice encouragement

and support one another, where they're sharing a meal,

serving together, or simply meeting to discuss life's journeys in

faith, and finally pray.

Here's some prayer points to keep in mind. Pray for those who

are seeking community, that they may find a place where they are

welcomed and can grow in love and friendship.

And then ask god to help us recognize opportunities to encourage

others in their faith and to act boldly in seizing those

moments. And then pray for your personal

transformation. That in our interactions with others,

we would be more like Jesus, showcasing his heart for

people and serving as agents of healing and peace in our

communities. You can check the show
