Pray For One Another

When a person is so broken and even though they cry out in prayer, they need to know that others are praying for them.

Sometimes the most valuable thing we can do for a person is to pray for them and with them.

When we pray, something always happens. Isaiah 55:11

When we pray, we offer sacrifice to God. We are a priestly people, (1 Peter 2:9 KJV-

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; )

Part of the priesthood is offering sacrifice to God. We sacrifice our time, we offer our mental, and emotional investment to God in prayer on behalf of others 

“Often the most important thing you can do for them is to pray. However, I encourage you to tell them when you are praying for them (unless you sense it might be taken in the wrong way). In my experience, almost everyone who’s facing a serious need (whether it is an illness or some other difficulty) will be encouraged by knowing someone is praying for them.” Billy Graham January 18, 2008

“Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.” 1 Samuel 12:23

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; 7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. 8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. 9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:3-11

God-glorifying, Christ-centered prayers for others can be found in Ephesians 1:15–23; 3:14–21; Colossians 1:9–14; 1 Thessalonians 3:9–13; and 2 Thessalonians 1:13–14.
