Praying for Others
"The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."James 5:16
Reflection
Praying for someone is one of the greatest gifts we can give! When we pray for others, we are asking the most powerful God in the universe to care for them.
Prayer
Lord, take care of everyone I love and everyone who needs You. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Who would you like to pray for today?
- Why is praying for someone a gift?
- Has anyone ever prayed for you?
5-minute activity
