" I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2, The Bible (New International Version)
Being wrapped up in the activity of our own lives can cause us to ignore others.
We don't always take note of things around us or some of the stories the media covers.
However, taking time to remember we are all connected somehow is a worthy cause.
It is important for us to think about others and to make time to reflect and to pause.
This scripture reminds us that God desires for us to take time out to be still and pray.
We don't have to be priests or theologians to ask for enough grace to help others today.
Understanding that there is a time to think of ourselves should help us think of others too.
We can help others by sharing and giving thanks to show that it's not all about you.
