About

This is a second episode in which Arnie and Fred discuss what the Bible says about what to pray for. We begin where we left off in the last episode talking about praying for boldness in teaching and preaching the gospel.  Next we note that Jesus prayed for more laborers to work in propagating the gospel and that is certainly something we ought to pray for. James says we ought to pray for wisdom and we look at that. Jeremiah started to make excuses when the Lord was sending him to those in Judah and we ought to avoid doing the same thing concerning the need for us to go to those who are lost in sin. We look at Solomon's attitude when the Lord confronted him as the new king of Israel. We find a number of prayers offered by Jesus and others for protection from evil and note this is something we can pray for also. It was dangerous in the first century to travel from place to place.  We see prayers offered for the safety of those traveling, which we can also pray for.  Deliverance from foes is also discussed for we know there are those who do not want us to teach the truth to others.  We end this episode by looking at the first passage relating tp praying for peace. In our next episode, we will begin by looking at several other passages mentioning prayers for peace. Take about 30 minutes to follow our discussion. Have your Bible handy to verify we are following what the Bible says. There is a transcription provided for your convenience in following what we are saying.
