Advocatory Prayer

Prayer brings victory and it is quite important for an individual to speak to the Lord daily in prayer. But at the same time it is equally important for us to bear one another’s burden and take it to the Lord in prayer, thus fulfilling the Law of Christ. In California, there is a peculiar tree ” Chikayo “, which grows to a height of 300feet. These trees grow in groups and we can not see an individual tree. Though it grows to a great height, its roots do not go deep but spread widely on the surface of the soil itself to absorb water. When the wind blows heavily, they do not fall as their roots twine and entangle together with the roots of the neighbouring trees and thus grow strongly. In the same way, apart from our individual prayer, praying in groups, support us and give us strength. Before Crucifixion, when Jesus Christ went to pray in Gethsemane, He took with Him Peter, James and John to watch and pray but they had fallen asleep. If Jesus Christ needed the prayers of His disciples, then how much more do we need the supportive prayers of others?
” Dear Lord, let me show love and share the burden, misery and pressure of my neighbours and pray for them and thus fulfill the Law of Christ. In Jesus’Name I pray “.–Amen.
