“I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.” Eph 1:16 (NIV)
Is somebody praying for you? I want you to begin to calculate where you would be had it not been for the people who have prayed for you. Your name, your circumstances, and your future have been placed before the throne of God by those people who have prayed for you.
God has a unique way of prompting people to pray for you. He will nudge them with a gentle reminder of your life. They may respond by praying for you to realize God’s will. Maybe they pray for you to have a heightened awareness of God’s presence and activity.
Paul exhibited a deep love for the saints in Ephesus. He constantly thanked God for them and for their obvious faith in the Lord and their love for their fellow believers. Paul consistently remembered them in his prayers. They were as natural to his prayer life as water to a fish.
Carve out a few moments right now to thank God for the people who have prayed for you. This could get emotional! It’s okay. You matter to God and He deeply loves you and cares for you.
Pursuing God,
Stephen Trammell
Pastor of Leadership and Pastoral Care

I remember many times when you have prayed for my family. Especially a little over a year ago when our grandson Brody was born about 12 weeks premature. What a blessing to answer the phone three states away and hear the voice of your Pastor praying for you.
CFBC has so graciously rallied around me and prayed for me and my family as i underwent breast cancer treatments. As I was recovering I felt the hand of God through CFBC’s people praying for me and i am forever thankful for the time that they put into praying for me and my family. What a blessing.
