Why Praying for Yourself is Essential - Jodie Berndt

[@sunny_chan25]

I’m living in Japan. I’m a Japanese Christian woman. I learn a lot from this program. As a leader of a ministry, I do need to find myself praying for all that I need. I do need to abide in Him. Thank you.

[@athomewiththeperrins6507]

Thank you! I abide in the Lord and I don't have a hard time with praying for myself to obey, change, work on myself etc but I do struggle with praying for blessings for myself. The Lord has addressed this with me but I feel guilt, I especially want my time in prayer to be for my husband and children's benefit more than my own. I know the Lord has let me know that praying for my own successes, blessings, walk and sanctification are essential because I am important to Him, He loves me!

Lord 🙏 help me to be willing to be willing....deep👌 Thank You Focus on the Family

[@meenajoseph5235]

I never prayed for myself. I was always praying for my family and for my relatives and all those who needed prayers .When I realised this same people whom I prayed for giving me the maximum pain agony and hurt I realised its time I start to pray for myself. Very important to pray for self . Help me to do that Lord.

This message is timeless!! I think praying for and loving the people we love is easy of course, to pray for and love the bullies the murderers that’s a whole other level.

Thanks focus on family program u have been of great help in my family life

[@joycezaid3909]

I can attest to praying for myself, especially the last several years, for me it's Psalm 46:10, which my mother referred to when I was an adult, and I thought she was crazy, but she was RIGHT!!! I was forced to be still, and I had to make the choice to trust HIM as things got very difficult for me, He has helped me become more loving, giving, and the chances for people to be moved for the better because of how I was changed because I was finally able to pray for myself.

My Jesus poured all of himself out on the cross for us all...faith, love, forgiveness, peace, and comfort. All of his fruits are given to us. Gifted. Blessed.

[@tedbundy8118]

"Your" Jesus... what about my Jesus... you think you're better than me?! haha

[@vernaharris4700]

From Trinidad and Tobago and everytime a video from this ministry pops up, it ministers to me and cuts me open to see the issues and some solutions are presented in these conversations. Pray to meet you both one day. Keep up God's work. Blessings.

What does prayer do I've suffered consequences of abuse my hole life I've never seen any answers to prayers

[@pilar689]

I don't know who you are but I'm so sorry you are suffering and I understand. The only thing I can do is pray that a breakthrough happens.

[@pilar689]

Oh, and I do know that unless you are saved, The Lord does not hear your prayers. I don't know if you are saved or trusted your life with Christ but that is the first step. Next I'm working on total surrender of what is making me sad, depressed, angry etc. I've seen some amazing things happen when you totally give up that 'thing' and give it to Christ. It's hard I know, and I'm still working on it.

[@pauldonnelly6691]

⁉️ ✝️Remember only way to repent sins and be saved by Christ John 3:5-8, Acts 11:14-18, confess sins then go Luke 11:9-13 until you get Zeph 3:9/ Acts 2:4,17,21,38 John 17:20-26 Just follow only the Early Church tradition teaching not different churches beliefs but Jesus will guide you personally and learn from him to the end John 10:1-6,11-16, Acts4:12 , 1 John 2:24-25 and John 13:17! You can go do yourself baptized in water and separately then baptized Holy Spirit too. Read more how to do it ask me if needed Remember that only Jesus Christ can tell you have the Holy Spirit! ROM 8:16/Acts 2:4✝️ if you can go help others too

How do i love upon a person who is difficult with intent on a daily basis and who does not like you at all but are living in the same residence? Without being taken advantage of or becoming a doormat?

[@lauriebaker7608]

Forgive them Now I beseech you, brethren Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them.

THANKS FOR YOUR POST 11 15 2021

[@DJSC5618]

Pray for yourself Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Jesus told His disciples, 'Pray so that you will not fall into temptation. ' (Matthew 26:41 NIV) In other words, pray before the temptation comes and you'll be strengthened and fortified to handle it.

[@hopecreed5502]

AMEN AND AMEN

[@Longjonsilver2]
