“On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again. You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.”
2 Corinthians 1:10b-11
God gives His children many graces, one of which is our connection through the Spirit and our responsibility to pray for and encourage one another. We are designed as a body, each serving its own purpose, each needing the other in their own special way. How beautiful is it that we have a family of brothers and sisters, all washed in the blood of Christ, all acknowledging our need for God while coming together in support and worship? So that whether there are two in a living room, a hundred in a church, or a thousand scattered worldwide, reading a prayer guide together, none other than the God of the universe is in our midst.
In case you didn’t answer yourself, the answer is: it’s beautiful beyond words (yes, even the ones in the paragraph above). We are made to need each other, to pray and encourage one another to keep the faith. And when we believe God that we are indeed part of the body of Christ and serve a purpose, we seek the Lord and act out our faith more fully than we ever could alone. And that’s why it is a great joy to partner with you who read this guide, who support WEGO by asking God to work His will in thousands of ways. By your sacrifices of faith, God has granted blessings on top of blessings to children all over the world who were without support, and God will strengthen your faith in the process. Why? “…so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.”
