Brothers, pray for us. (I Thessalonians 5:25)
The letters of Paul (and his comrades) are filled with introductory, spontaneous, and concluding prayers for the recipients, but they were never so proud as to think they themselves were beyond the need for prayer. In fact, it is as if they are almost begging God's people to pray for them. Regardless of all the revelations, teachings, and activities in which God had used them, they knew they needed His grace, blessing and strength more. Whenever someone tells me as I pastor they are praying for me, I take it seriously and sincerely; I need it. May we each have that mindset and heartbeat: "please pray for me."
