Letter 24: Helping Others Through Prayer

Are you the only person on your prayer list?

Prayer is more than a routine, it is a powerful partnership with God. When you pray, you acknowledge His ability to move where human strength fails. But God invites us to widen our focus. Our prayers aren’t meant to stop with our own needs, they’re meant to reach others.

When you pray for someone else, you stand in the gap for those who may not have the strength or clarity to pray for themselves. Something shifts in your heart: compassion grows, and you begin seeing people through God’s eyes.

Jesus modeled this for us. He prayed for His disciples, the hurting, the lost—even His enemies. As we imitate Him, the Holy Spirit will place people on our hearts who need covering.

Intercession expands the reach of God’s love. When you lift others in prayer, grace multiplies in every direction—including your own.
