I can pray
Philippians 2: 14-16 KJV
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Murmurings and Disputings, have you really thought about what those two words mean. In this context, you should not be whispering about your brothers and sisters in Christ to another member of the church and you should not be disagreeing and bickering over things. You should be praying one for another and lifting each other up. We are all guilty when we see someone doing something that we don't agree with. We are so quick to find someone that will listen and then we begin pointing fingers. I know, because I am just as guilty as anyone. We have all done it, but if we are going to be true children of God, then we must stop. We must begin doing things in love. My pastor told me just the other day that if you know someone is doing wrong, you should go to that person and with love talk to them and maybe it will help them. My answer was, I can't do that, I love them too much and I would never want to hurt them, but what we fail to understand is that we hurt them more when we talk to others and not to them. I don't know if I will ever be able to go to someone and tell them I believe they are sinning, but I do know that I can pray. Prayer is the one thing that I am good at and I know that God hears me when I pray. I want to encourage each of you reading this to pray one for another. Lift each other up in prayer and that thing you believe to be sin may cease to be. God is able to do all things and love is a powerful tool. Don't you think it's time we begin using it. May your day be blessed.
