Friends Who Pray

From bitsofyarn.wordpress.com

When Jesus entered Capernaum, an army captain approached him to ask his help, "Sir, my servant lies sick  at home.  He is paralysed and suffers terribly."  Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

The captain answered, "I am not worthy to have you under my roof.  Just give an order and my boy will be healed.  For I myself, a junior officer, give orders to my soldiers.  And if I say to one, 'Go!' he goes;  and if  say to another, 'Come!' he comes;  and if I say to my servant, 'Do this!' he does it."

When Jesus heard this he was astonished, and said to those who were following him, "I tell you, I have not found such faith in Israel.  I say to you, many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at the feast in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 8:5-11

"Lord, I pray for the intentions of my family, friends and co-workers.  Hear their petitions and send Your grace and blessings upon them.  Amen."
