Pray for One Another

Most of us know we should pray more, but knowing and doing are two very different things. The Bible is clear that prayer is not a passive activity or a last resort. It is one of the most powerful things a follower of Jesus can do. James 5 reminds us that the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Just as the battle on the ground in Exodus 17 was directly connected to Moses praying on the hill, our spiritual battles today are connected to whether or not we are lifting one another up in prayer. The enemy is scheming, and prayer is one of our most powerful weapons against him. When we commit to praying for others, something shifts not only in their lives but in our own hearts as well. God is still listening, still moving, and still waiting for His people to call on His name.
