The Practice of Prayer...Discussion

A few weeks ago, I asked people in the congregation to begin the dual practice of praying for someone in particular (by name) and asking someone to pray for them. If you have been doing this, I would like for you to comment below on your experience. I offer these questions as primers, feel free to answer these or make comments generally about your experience:

What was it like to ask someone specifically to pray for you? Was it difficult or easy?

Did you feel a genuine need for prayer?

Did you share with the person particular things about which to pray?

As you are praying for a particular person, have you gone out of your way to learn more about them, their needs, what hurts or helps them?

Has your prayer for another shaped you in any way? How?

Has your prayer for another affected your relationship with God in any discernible way? How?

Shalom Y'all!
