Ministry Prayer Requests...

5/15/2015

[Pray] also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly
to proclaim the mystery of the gospel...
-Ephesians 6:19
One thing I find interesting when I hear the giants of the faith, even in our own day, is that few of them are bashful when it comes to asking for prayer.

I find this very refreshing - not only because the Apostle Paul set this precedent (Eph. 6:19; Col. 4:3; 1 Thess. 5:25; 2 Thess. 3:1) and thus made it a truly Scriptural practice in regard to gospel ministry, but also because it's a constant reminder to me that even people whom we would see as heroes of the faith are able to do what they do only because of other people of God.

In other words, ministry is never a one-man effort. 
Picture
Even in the most well-known "Renaissance-man" passage of Scripture, which in context is no "Renaissance-man" passage at all - it's just been accepted as being so for the last however long (Phil. 4:13) - even then Paul goes right on to say: "It was kind of you [Philippians] to share my trouble" (Phil. 4:14).

If our own day's heroes of the faith are not above requesting prayer for their respective ministries, if not even the Apostle Paul was above requesting prayer for his ministry, how much more then do us lesser-servants of the gospel like myself need such prayer support for our ministries?

(FYI: I'm not trying to have some back-door ("false") humility here when I say "lesser-servants." I'm just meaning those of us whose ministry is not a full-time vocation - and there are many of us out there)
