1 Corinthians 1:4-9

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 

  Are you ever unsure how to pray for someone else?  It can be a hard thing, especially if someone doesn't have an obvious need.  We all need prayer.  I've always found people are receptive to being asked how you can pray for them.  But if you're not sure how to pray for someone, here's a good start.  Paul is praying for people to be enriched in speech and knowledge -- so that they're filled with the Holy Spirit in their inner life and in their relationships.  Paul is praying that God will sustain them through God's faithfulness.
  That's a great start if you're not sure how to pray for someone -- that God bless their inner and outer life, and sustain them through any challenges.
  Who can you pray that for today?
  And how can you keep that up this year, praying for someone every day?
