6 Easy Ways To Prioritize Praying for Others

1. Listen For The Holy Spirit’s Prompting

As you’re going through your day the Holy Spirit will nudge your heart and a friend or family member will come to mind. Take this time to pray a short prayer over them.

2. Pray for Others Via Text

When a friend texts asking you to pray for something going on in their day respond back with a written prayer instead of a, “Yes, I’ll pray for you.”

3. Stop and Pray

The next time you’re talking to a friend who’s sharing what’s going on in her life and you don’t have the words to say stop and prayer for her right then and there!

Yes, I know it can be awkward but the Father knows her needs and will give you the words to say. Praying over her and lifting the situation to Him is powerful and the best thing you can do.

4. Make A Prayer List

Be intentional about praying for others by making a prayer list. It can be as simple as a list on the notes on your phone, a sticky note for the week or fancier like a prayer journal.

When someone asks you to pray for them, before you forget, stop and add their request to your list. As you’re having your devotions or prayer time pull out your list.

5. Add Prayer To Your To-Do List

If you have a super busy schedule and want to be intentional about praying for others add prayer to your to-do list. I know it may sound funny but there’s no shame in doing this.

6. Ask Others How You Can Best Pray For Them

For your friends or family members that are either heavy on your heart or you want to be intentional about praying over, every couple weeks ask them how you can best be praying for them.

Some of these suggestions might be awkward at first, but when you get in the habit of practicing them they’ll become second-nature.

Never underestimate what a huge blessings your prayers are to the people in your life! Your prayers make a difference.
