Pray for others
Pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored.
James 5:16
Prayer is breath to a follower of Christ. Without prayer is like without breath. Our LORD Jesus Christ Himself lived a life of prayer. Very often He secluded Himself to pray and seek the will of the Father.
Apostle Paul instructed us to pray without ceasing.
Prayer is our heartbeat. Prayer sustains us, upholds us, escapes us from the trap, and delivers us.
Now one of the key components of prayer is praying for others. There is a great benefit in doing so. Many times when we pray, we bring to our LORD all of our needs and requests and forget to pray for others.
Infact praying for others is much more effective than for ourselves. Because in today's verse, it clearly mentions that when we sincerely pray for others, our own needs are met, and we are healed and restored.
Praying for others is like giving to someone in need when we ourselves struggle. Like the Zarephath widow in the bible. Inspite of her having food only for one meal, she fed Elijah. LORD blessed her abundantly by seeing her heart.
Today who is around you who needs food, who needs your desperate prayer, spend time praying for them and you will see your needs are met and you are restored without even praying for it.
