Cross City Church
March 3, 2024 | How We Love
We pray for the conversion of the lost; we pray for fellow believers in times of special need; but we tend to discount or even omit a continued ministry of prayer for healthy, vibrant Christians. We often tend to view prayer as a rescue operation, rather than as ongoing life support. This is why we find the apostle Paul praying for this spiritually healthy body of Christians, and this is why we should pray likewise for one another.
