I can think of no better way than to start this blog, with someone who I am very proud to call my brother.
In May of this year, my brother headed off to boot camp. He was gone for three months, and the one thing he constantly asked for, during that three month duration, was PRAYER.
"Pray without ceasing." (I Thessalonians 5:17)
Ceasing means to bring something to an end. And in the above verse Paul encourages us to Pray without end.
Sometimes we forget to pray, and when we do it is only when "we" are in trouble, or in need of help from God. Or when "we" have something we desperately want. Paul writes in Colossians 1:9, "For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;". Paul was not praying for himself, nor was he praying that he may be filled. He was praying without end for the people in whom he was writing to.
So let this be an encouragement to you and to myself to pray for someone other than ourselves without end.
