Pray for others




Do you pray for others?

Who? How? Why?

I found another interesting verse tucked away in the Old Testament. These words are a part of Samuel’s farewell address, found in 1 Samuel 20.

As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you.

Interesting.

James, the brother of Jesus, in his fifth chapter says this:

. . .Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

How about we do this today?

Intentionally select some people (5? 10?), pray for them in specific ways, and then let them know about it? Let’s see what happens.
