Praying for our neighbours is a wonderful way to love them. This winter, let's start a new habit, or continue an old one, and pray for our older neighbours.
The Bible reminds us that prayer changes things. When we pray we invite God into a situation. And when we pray for others we not only build our relationship with God, but our empathy for the people we're praying for increases.
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ..."
Colossians 4:2-3a
If you know your neighbour's name, pray for them by name. If you don't yet know it, perhaps ask God to give you an opportunity and the courage to find out. Otherwise, don't worry, God knows their name, He'll know who you mean!
Start by thanking God for your neighbours - dig deep for ways in which you're grateful for them, or simply the fact that they are an example of God's glorious creation.
Invite God's surpassing goodness into your neighbour's life. If they don't yet know Him ask him to bless them and help them come to know Him. If they're Christians, ask God to bless them and help them walk more closely with Him.
You may know something of your neighbour's life and their needs. What have they told you? What have you noticed? Invite God's loving power into their particular situation at this time.
Trust that God has heard your prayers and that He will answer according to His will and His timing.
Pray for your neighbour daily or regularly. If you keep a prayer journal or list, add them to it, or add a regular calendar entry on your physical or digital calendar to remind you to pray for them.
