“Uncle Jesse liked my post!”

6 Views

No, this wasn’t a girl getting excited about a family member. This was THE Uncle Jesse.

John Stamos.

Full House? Remember? Have mercy.

My friend had made a post about him, and somehow, he saw it and liked it. She was over-the-moon excited. This was the height of existence to her. I can only imagine what it would have been like to witness her reaction when she discovered it. I’m certain she swooned and nearly fainted.

Now, if we get that excited about a celebrity interacting with one post, imagine the impact prayer should have on us.

1 Timothy 2:1–3

“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.”

This is the God of the universe. Not just the One in control, but the One who existed before all things and is the Creator of all things. He knows all, sees all, and hears all.

And yet, He still loves us.

Even in our sin, He loved us enough to send His only Son to die for us. Jesus left heaven and came to this earth to show us the truth about God and to offer us hope. Our sin separated us from God, and Jesus is the way back to Him.

He is our Savior.

Can you imagine how much He loves us to do that for us?

AND He has extended an invitation to us to know Him and to communicate with Him anytime we want.

We can come to Him with our worries and fears, plans and decisions, questions, praises, and the needs of others.

Prayer.

This is our communication with the Lord.

He hears us, and He answers us.

Though not always in the way we want or hope.

And while I don’t always understand why He doesn’t do this or that, or why He delays, I trust Him.

Because I remember who He is.

I remember the truth that He loves me.

Paul urged Timothy and the other believers to pray. Not just for themselves, but for others, including those in authority and leadership.

This morning, let’s take just five minutes.

Set the phone down, close your eyes, and pray.

Who will you pray for? Who is God bringing to your mind right now?

As He brings those names and faces to mind, pray for them.

Because THE one true, loving, holy, and awesome GOD of the universe is listening.

Pray.
