Topic: Someone Is Praying You

Text: "…Without ceasing I make mention of you always in
my prayers (Romans 1:9).

What an encouragement Paul’s words must have
been to the Roman church when they learned
that he prayed for them without ceasing! They
surely came away from that with the confidence
that they were always being brought before
God’s throne. There is something particularly
encouraging about knowing that someone is
praying for you. When Jesus was about to go to
the cross, He knew the devil was going to come
after Peter. He told Peter, “Simon, behold, Satan
hath desired to have you…but I have prayed for
thee, that thy faith fail not” (Luke 22:31-32). I
am sure when Peter faced the shame of knowing
he had denied the Lord, he remembered those
words. It is probable to say that it was Jesus’
prayers and also Peter knowing he had been
prayed for that drew him back to the Lord after
his sin. It was a lifeline for Peter.
We all walk through things, and just knowing that
others are taking the time to think of us and
mention our name before the Lord provides a
spiritual boost. With that in mind, it is important
to then pray for others. Just like their prayers
are helping to pull you through, so are your
prayers doing the same for them. Let your
prayers be a lifeline for someone today and then
have peace in knowing that someone is
mentioning you.
