“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 12v23
Samuel was nearing the end of his ministry when Saul became king. He reminded the people that they were going to suffer the consequences of demanding a king. However, he then reminded them that God would never forsake them. He also had a personal note. He was going to continue to pray for them. In fact he declared that it would be a sin for him not to do so. He asked God for help in insuring that he would not sin against God my not praying for the people.
How often do we take this attitude toward praying for others? Not only is it a sin not to pray for others, but also it is clearly declared as a sin against God to not pray for others. Do we see it as a sin to not pray for other people?
As we go through each day may we take the same attitude that Saul did – “God forbid (may it never be) that we should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for others.”
