1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 (NLT) We always thank God for all of you and pray for you constantly. As we pray to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and the enduring hope you have because of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It’s not just an empty sentiment. When you sign your letters, notes, and cards, “...with thoughts and prayers,” mean it! When you tell someone, “I’ll be thinking of you,” or “I’ll be praying for you,” do it!
Whether you realize it or not, throughout your life people have been thinking of you and praying for you. They offer prayers of thanksgiving for your life and what you mean to them. They remember the hard work you do and the kindness you show to others. They pray for you to find salvation in Christ because that is your greatest need, and when you accept Christ as your Savior they rejoice for you have found enduring hope in Him.
With thoughts and prayers
Thinking of you
Praying for you
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all those who have been thinking of me and praying for me throughout the various seasons of my life. Keep me away from uttering idle sentiments and plant within my heart a new resolve to follow through faithfully as you lay names on my heart.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
