The Best Reason Yet to Send Christmas Cards!

One simple way to integrate intercessory prayer during the season is to pray for those who send us Christmas cards.  

I’d love to hear your ideas on specific ways we can pray for them. A few that come to mind: 

  • For their spiritual development—something none of us fully attain this side of heaven. 
  • If there’s any concern about their relationship with Christ, this is the perfect opportunity to pray for their salvation. 
  • For those alone not to be lonely – to recognize the closeness of their heavenly Father.

What’s another way we can pray? 

“Intercession is truly
universal work for the Christian. No place is closed to intercessory
prayer. No continent – no nation – no organization – no city – no
office. There is no power on earth that can keep intercession out.”
