1 Samuel 12:23 (GW) “It would be unthinkable for me to sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. I will go on teaching you the way that is good and right.”
Refusing to pray for others is seen as neglecting a spiritual duty.
Ephesians 6:18 (GW) “Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason, be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of request for all God’s people.”
Prayer is meant to be constant and inclusive of others.
Romans 1:9 (GW) “God, whom I serve in my spirit by preaching the Good News about his Son, is my witness that I always mention you in my prayers.”
Paul’s ministry was saturated with prayer for others.
Job 42:10 (GW) “After Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored Job’s fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as he had before.”
Praying for others can unlock restoration and blessing—even for the one who prays.
ALLOW THIS WORD FROM GOD TO BE A GUIDE UNTO YOUR LIFE.
LET US REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR OTHERS.
