Food For Thought: Few things say as much about the depth of our care for others as does our commitment to pray for them. So, then, what does it look like to intercede in prayer for others? What does it mean to pray for one another? If we think about the kinds of prayers we often pray, you’ll probably agree that we tend to focus on temporal, material, or physical priorities. Paul gave us a model for intercession prayer, he overwhelmingly focuses on spiritual concerns, spiritual goals and spiritual desires. And it is a model that we would be wise to learn, develop, and implement.
