Brethren, Pray For Us

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” | Matthew 6:9-13

When we elders stand behind this pulpit and open the Word to preach the gospel of Christ, I can think of nothing as important as these four words – “BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US.”

“Brethren, pray for us.” (1 Thessalonians 5: 25)

When we teachers stand before our classes and endeavor to teach the Word of God, you can render no greater service or help than – “BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US.”

When our missionaries depart from these shores to face the dangers and perils of foreign lands and to preach the Gospel in a hostile environment, I’m sure that there is one common request
they all would leave with us – “BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US.”

Our young couples are starting their lives together, and the responsibility of raising children is upon them – “BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US.”

Some of us are growing older; the sands of time are almost out of the upper glass. We have a faith to keep, a witness to give, our God to glorify, and a death to die – “BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US.”

What did Samuel say? “Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:” (1 Samuel 12: 23)

Christ Prayeth for the Apostles and All Believers

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are]. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.” | John 17: 1-12
