The You Effect

DAY 14 OF 15

In these verses James, the brother of Jesus, encourages us to pray for one another. But let’s be honest. It’s a lot easier to pray for ourselves than it is for others. We are always on our own minds! But something happens when we take the focus off of our own needs and focus on others. Choosing to center our focus on others widens our perspective. 

In this verse, James says we should do this so we might be healed. And while God can certainly heal, it’s possible praying for one another can bring about healing from our sense of being alone, overwhelmed and forgotten in our difficulties. Praying for others gives you influence in the lives of others to be healed of our sense of being not important. Your prayers are powerful and effective. Ask yourself how can you use your prayer to empower someone else’s faith today. Spend a few minutes praying for a parent, friend, or neighbor who could use it.
