In my searching on verses about prayer i have came across several about praying for others.
Here is a few of those verses.
" Brethren pray for us." 1 Thess. 4:25
"Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling , and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Thess. 1:11
"Finally brethren, pray for us, that the word may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you." 2 Thess. 3:1
"I will therefore that men pray every where lifting up holy hands, with out wrath and doubting." 1 Tim. 2:8
"Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly." Heb. 13:18
There really is something in prayer isn't there?!!
Here is some references in the old Testament of verses where God's people prayed for different reasons.
Isaiah 37:15
2 Kings 4:33
2 Kings 6:17
2 Kings 19:15
Numbers 11:2
Numbers 21:7
It seems very obvious that God did want His people and does still want His people today, to pray, even though He knows all things before we even ask.
We know he is in full control of our lives at that nothing can happen that is not apart of His plan, but yet He wants us to pray. We know that he loves and cares for all His children where ever they are in the world, yet he wants us to pray for them and for each other. I know that He loves my husband and protects him where ever he goes, yet I know that God wants me to pray for him.
If you as I had been, curious about prayer and power of prayer, I urge you to do your own study on it. There is lots and lots of verses to look up. You can find them in a Bible concordance. I believe they will strengthen your prayer life, and over-all strengthen your walk in God.
We have a great power in prayer, we just have to embrace it and claim it as ours. We have to believe God loves us and take care of us, and have faith that God will answer our prayers.
Faith is the most important ingredient. We pray and then believe that He will.
I love hearing your thoughts!

Fall happenings in the north
I thought it time for a little up-date from me.
I liked last time how i wrote my post much like a face book status.
so here it is again.
Mae:
is doing so well since baby Benjamin has been born.
is so blessed that baby sleeps so well at night, only waking twice to nurse. I wake so refreshed and well rested.
can not believe that he is already 4 weeks old!!
is enjoying the warm days we have had recently. I had thought fall was already up-on us with the cool days we had been having. But I love fall so really that wasn't that bad at all.
thinks the wheat field across the road, that is golden on to harvest, is such a pretty site. In fact we have borrowed that neighbors field for pictures!!!
loves seeing all the equipment and such go by as grain harvesting is being done all around us. This quiet little gravel road has really came alive!!
is enjoying helping the kids with school once again.
can not believe that it is our 7th year of homeschooling! We have been homeschooling all the way since our oldest was in K. Has been hectic at times, but still loving it!!
has been canning and freezing vegys from the garden.
is so very grateful for all the time we have had here in Alberta.
is thinking about all my friends in Texas, and glad for them that it has cooled down there some. ( at least the last i heard it was a little cooler)
is glad that my comment thing seems to be working again. I love getting your comments, and hearing your thoughts on things i share here.
is looking up more Bible verses on prayer. I will share that as i gather verses.
has not forgot to write the post on, God's Promises to Those Who Love and Obey Him. It is just a very long post and i have a very hard time getting that mount of time to write it. I am sure i am the world's slowest typer!!
will keep sharing more as i have time.
Take care all!!
In Him,
Mae
