1 Timothy 2:1-7

1 Timothy 2:1-7

  Over the last few days, we rented a house on the shores of a lake.  We rented a boat one day, and as we trolled around the lake, we noticed a number of MASSIVE lake houses.  To own such a house, which likely is a second or third home, I assume that one has a sizable net worth.  It's easy to conclude that such a person would have all their needs met... but you'd be wrong.  Everyone needs prayer -- if I've learned anything in my years on this planet, it's that the brokenness of sin infects each and every person.  We find sin breaking our relationships, breaking our homes and our hearts.  It gets into everything, no matter how fast we run or how hard we deny it.  
  So we all need prayer.  From the richest person to the poorest, each and every one of us is in need of prayer.  May we spend some time in day for prayer for friends, for strangers, for loved ones, and for enemies, and may we give thanks that God's desire is for all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
