The New Testament teaches that prayer and intercession are expected of all believers.
James 5:16 (Amplified Bible) instructs us with these words,
Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
Who in your life needs prayer today? Take a second to ask the Lord to reveal to you someone in your life that needs your prayer. You may be surprised at how quickly someone will pop into your head. Be obedient to that prompting from the Lord and pray for that person! It will have an impact in the spiritual realm that you may not even realize.

Father, we come to You seeking to know Your will. Show us where and how we can demonstrate Your love, by praying for others. Give us open hearts and minds so that we can truly identify the specific needs of others. Lord, grant us the ability to be Your hands and Your feet in serving others in love. In Jesus' name, Amen
