There is joy in prayer because we are pursuing God&rsquo;s glory. John 14:13 says, &ldquo;And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>We decided to take a chance and not only ask you to comment with your own prayer request, but to also take a few moments to pray for someone else&rsquo;s request by replying with a prayer of your own. It came in at number six of our top Instagram <a href=\"\/tags\/photos\">photos<\/a> of the year, and we know your prayers are powerful.<\/p>\n<h2>#7: Giving back<\/h2>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BbAyy4NnrZr\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"8\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BbAyy4NnrZr\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">This is how we know what love is: &ldquo;Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.&rdquo; &ndash;#1John 3:16. As Christians, the Bible is clear throughout its pages that we&rsquo;re  encouraged to give generously. It sets a model that generosity in God&rsquo;s people should be sacrificial&hellip;much like Pastor Jornito Jorge (pictured above) who after receiving training from #WorldVision, dedicated his life to helping children overcome #poverty. He says, &ldquo;Through this training I learned to wear the shoes of somebody else. If this was me, how would I feel?&rdquo; His community now cares for 144 children! How can you #ShineBright and show similar love and generosity in your own community?
