This week’s lesson, “Do you care about others,” focuses on caring for others enough to pray for them. 1 John 5:14 expresses the assurance we have that God answers our prayer if we offer it in agreement with His will.
Make a list of what to pray for others, such as (1) their relationship with Christ, (2) their obedience, (3) their worship of God, (4) that they would have wisdom and peace from God, (5) that they would trust the Lord, (6) repent of their sin and confess it to the Lord, (7) love and forgive others, (8) serve God, etc. I suggest that you have members make a list of people they are not particularly fond of and pray for them as I just outlined.
As a human, my natural desire is not to pray for people like this, especially ones I’m not particularly fond of. As a twist, ask members to suggest what they would like others to pray for them. Here is such a list from a single mom.
