For What Do You Pray For Others?
Usually, when we pray for others, it is that God will restore their health or comfort them in their trials. Why do we limit it to so little? Can we not think of anything else to ask God with which to bless them or help them? The apostle Paul prayed often for others in the body of Christ. I find it amazing how much he could put into the most simplest of prayers. In Philippians 1.9-11, Paul prayed, “And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” In our Bibles, the prayer is only three verses long; but the content is overwhelming.
