[h=2] Friday, July 10 [/h] He prays hard for you all the time.—Col. 4:12, “The New English Bible.†We do well to ask ourselves: ‘Do I pray hard for my brothers around the world? How often do my prayers include fellow believers who have suffered because of a natural disaster? When did I last exert myself in prayer for those shouldering heavy responsibility in Jehovah’s organization? Have I recently prayed for individuals in the congregation who are facing hardships?’ Our prayers to Jehovah God in behalf of others can truly help them. (2 Cor. 1:11) Although Jehovah is not obliged to act because a large number of his worshippers have made prayerful requests repeatedly, he notes their collective interest and takes into account their genuine and deep concern as he responds to their prayers. So we ought to take seriously our privilege and responsibility to pray in behalf of others. Doing so will add to our happiness, for “there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.â€â€”Acts 20:35. w13 11/15 1:15, 16
