The Power of Charitable Prayer

Job 42:10

Job 42:10 The LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

We are all familiar with the story of Job in the bible; a man who lost everything through the attack of the devil over his faithfulness to the Lord. Yet he remained firm to his trust in the Lord.

But, the striking thing in the verse above is his sincere concern for the plights of others even in his adversity. His charitable prayer for his friends activated his restoration from God, even twice as much as he had before.

When you pray, do you remember others in your prayers? Or is it always all about you, you, and you alone? Look around you, there may be people around you who need help you may not be capable of rendering at the moment, but your sincere prayer of faith for them may rend heavens for your sake.

Shalom!
