Check out this quote by Thabiti Anyabwile  in What Is A Healthy ChurchMember, “Praying for other Christians is a tangible expression of love and care (see Ephesians 6:18). Christianity is not a solo sport, and prayer is not a trip through Burger King drive-thru, where we shout into an inanimate receiver, wait for 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.”
