Day 23: Praying with the saints.
“Because we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that stands in our way… and run with perseverance the race that has been set out for us.” –Hebrews 12:1
We don’t pray by ourselves. We belong to a big spiritual family made up of Christians from all over the world and time. The saints, or religious people who have died before us, are part of this great group of witnesses. They cheer us on and pray for us.
The Bible shows us how important intercessory prayer is and how believers should help each other. For a long time, the Church has revered the saints. They are not worshiped, but seen as models of holiness and prayer partners. We can ask friends to pray for us. We can also ask people who have walked this path before us to pray for us.
Think about the faith of the saints today. Think about how much they prayed, gave, and trusted God. What can you learn from them? Today, if you feel called, pray with a saint and ask them to help you get closer to Christ.
Thought: Which saint makes you believe in God? How can following their lead make your prayer life stronger? Ask God to help you become more steadfast and holy, like they did.
Fasting & Giving: Give in a hidden way. Do something kind without seeking recognition.
