Requested by Riling Busing
at Juniata College, TNT Lounge
Prayer for others...is the very beat of a compassionate
heart. To pray for a friend who is ill, for a student who is
depressed, for a teacher who is in conflict; for people in
prison, in hospitals, on battlefields—is not a futile effort
to influence God’s will, but a hospitable gesture by
which we invite our neighbors into the center of our
hearts. To pray for others means to allow their pains
and sufferings, their anxieties and loneliness, their
confusion and fear to resound in our inner-most selves... It
is in and through us that God’s Spirit touches them with his
healing presence.”
