United in Jesus' Name

"In like manner, I say to you: if on earth two of you are united in asking for anything, it will be granted to you by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered in my Name, I am there among them." - Matthew 18:19-20

This is one of the most powerful promises in the bible! Our God is a living and present God! He is not far away in Heaven, but when we gather together and pray to Him, He is actually there among us! You might have heard the phrase "the family that prays together, stays together" and this is so true! If you want your relationship to work out, a friendship, or anything else, pray together and you will feel the presence of the living God among you.God is there with me when I pray alone, but the times I've gathered with my parents or my brother to pray, the presence of the Holy Spirit among us is undeniable! And in faith you know at that moment that He is there listening to your prayers and already working on the answers! So please, take the time to pray with your family, your boyfriend/girlfriend, wife/ husband, friend or co-worker…hold hands and unite in prayer asking the Lord for anything…do this often and you will see great changes in your life as He promised.

Today's Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for remaining so close to us. Thank You for promising to stay in our midst and for always listening to and answering our prayers. Help me to gather with my loved ones to pray to You. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
