Pray For Others

Scripture:

“Be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

Ephesians 6:18

Devotional:

Prayer is not only about you. It’s about others. Paul reminds us to pray for all God’s people — not just our friends or family, but even those we might overlook. When you lift someone else up in prayer, you step into a form of spiritual warfare that releases heaven’s power on their behalf.

Interceding for others builds compassion and unity. It’s one of the most selfless acts of love — you’re fighting battles they may not even know they’re in. And the beauty is, while you pray for others, God strengthens you too.

Reflect:

1. Who in my life might need prayer but hasn’t asked for it?

2. How can I build a habit of interceding for my church family?

3. What does it mean to fight for someone spiritually?

Prayer:

Father, give me eyes to see who needs prayer today. Help me carry others in love and faith, trusting that my prayers make a difference. Use me as a vessel of compassion and intercession for Your people.

Action Step:

Message or call one person from church today and ask, “How can I be praying for you this week?” Then actually pray for them — right there if possible.
