Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due
“Father, help us to be sensitive to the needs of those around us and not to just walk by when someone needs the help that we could give them. Help us to share our faith, our love, and our time with those who need encouragement and help.”
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so (Proverbs 3:27). Open to us, Lord, your great Door, O Fountain of all mercy, hear our prayer and have mercy on our souls. Lord of the morning and ruler of all seasons, hear our prayer and have mercy on our souls.
The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. (Exodus 14:14 )
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin (James 4:17).
We all stumble many times in such things. Forgetting to pray and help someone when we have the power to do so. That is the reason as to why the Lord Jesus Christ is interceding for us. Since He is alive forever, He is interceding for us. If we do not pray for others, we would be sinning against God. Many times we forget to pray.
Prayer of the day:
Dear Heavenly Father, help us to remember You always in our life. We confess that You are a living God. May we make it a point to always give the first place to You in all that we do. Bless the works of our hands. Let the thoughts of our mind glorify Your name. May we reach out not only to the poor and needy, but to all those who You lead us to help. Strengthen us not only give of our money, but also to give of ourselves. Father, help us to share our faith, our love, and our time with those who need encouragement and help. Help us to be sensitive to the needs of those around us and not to just walk by when someone needs the help that we could give them. We humbly ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
