“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst” Matthew 18:19-20).
Sometimes, we hear this and think that any two will do for those gathered in Jesus. This is a faith statement. When two are in union in Christ, as the Father and Son are in union in love, then they will hear the Lord’s will and act upon it. Two or three, seeking what the Lord is saying will hear as the Lord leads them forward. Jesus is constantly reminding us that this is all about relationship.
Lord, I need Your help to go deeper into prayer. Not only in my prayer life, but also in praying with others. Lord, take me beyond simply asking for stuff to come to the place of being united with You and others in the business of the kingdom. Guide me, Lord, so that I may humbly come into Your presence and receive the guidance You have for me and others. Teach me how to pray in agreement with You that Your will be done.
Lord Jesus, there are many things I do not yet understand. I sometimes have known something for years, but still do not truly understand it. Help me to go ever deeper into the mysteries of the faith. Teach me to give way to the Holy Spirit that my prayers may seek the counsel of Your throne in all that I do. Lead me, O Lord, in the way You know I need to go and help me to be a person of prayer. Amen.
