The measure of our love for others can largely be determined
by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them.
Arthur W. Pink
***
I urge, then, first of all,
that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—
for kings and all those in authority,
that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
1 Timothy 2:1-3 NIV

“If you develop a habit of praying to God for others.
You will never need to pray for your own self.”

***
Therefore confess your sins to each other
and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:16 NIV
***
“Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves.
This shows we are made to live by charity.”
C.S Lewis
