Pew Devotion: Why should we pray for you?

Editor’s note: Every day, we scour our Twitter account for the Bible scriptures and inspirational quotes for our daily devotion piece. This is day one of a new segment that allows us to put life in perspective and to grow in our daily walk.

A comment from LovLikeJesus last week drew on the importance of uplifting each other.

From Proverbs 27:17, the author writes, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” If you know of a brother or sister who is in a blight situation, pray for the individual. You don’t have to make it known to the person. Pray because you know the act is the godly thing to do. Allow God to intervene. God did not put us on this Earth to show ill will toward one another. Workers and volunteers for nonprofit organizations help people all the time because it is their belief that in order for people to be sharp in life, a caring individual must show compassion for them. Through the good and bad, we have to depend on other people. There are so many people dealing with issues today – unemployment, bad health, raising children, etc. There is nothing more powerful than prayer to help get through their struggles.
