A Healthy Prayer Warrior

"Praying for other Christians is a tangible expression of love and care (see Eph. 6:18). Christianity is not a solo sport, and prayer is not a trip through the Burger King drive-thru, where we shout into an inanimate receiver, wait a few moments, and then receive the bag of goodies we ordered to "have it our way." The Christian life is a family life, and our prayers are to focus on the entire family, esteeming others more highly than ourselves."
