Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in the will of God. Colossians 4:12

‎

On one of my visits to a historic church in Georgia, I noticed the church building was leaning to one side. It almost looked like it was going to fall over. Then I looked inside to see they had installed 4 metal braces that held the church up and kept the building from eventually falling over and collapsing. 

Today's verse is a perfect example of a fellow believer in Christ supporting the body of Christ. Let's face it, as a child of God, we are on Satan's radar. He loves nothing more than to tempt God's children in hopes that they take the bait of sin and succumb to their weakness. That's why it's so so so important as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ pray for one another. Prayers for others are like those steel braces that hold each Christian up in times of spiritual warfare. It keeps the body of Christ standing tall. 

From where you sit today, think about your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. They need YOUR prayers! Not one Christian is immune from Satan's attacks...including those who seem to be the most devout followers. I encourage you to pray for others...all through the day. And if God lays someone on your mind, STOP what you are doing and pray for them. We are all ONE body, together...let's support one another every day in prayer so we can stand tall for Christ in our homes, communities and church family. Pray for your brothers and sisters today...be that brace of support.
