Christians Praying Together

You’re familiar with the expression, “birds of a feather flock together.” The same can be said for Christians.

Christians are just naturally drawn together. They have the same love for God. They have a common labor of love. They have  a kinship to one another. They have the same goal of one day going to heaven.

Add to that is the fact that Christians can unite their hearts together in prayer.

During a recent Monday Night for the Master, one of our elders said that it’s not enough to just visit this list of folks, write cards, or call on Monday night. We ought to carry this list with us and pray for folks every day of the week.

Imagine what would happen if we all joined together with a common prayer for the sick, for our visitors, for those struggling in the faith, and for ourselves? Our hearts would be made stronger. Our relationship with one another would be tighter. Our zeal for the work of Jesus would be greater. The future of the church where we live would be brighter.

The Bible says, “They lifted up their voice to God with one accord” (Acts 4:24).

Imagine what would happen if we were as close as the first century Christians were, and as effectual in prayer as they were.
