What is the very best thing you can do for others? How about this – pray for them. By praying for people in need, you give them God’s help, rather than human help. You give God's grace and nothing but His grace. Everything else we do is tainted by the evil in us, but not prayer. Any other help, no matter how generous, puts down those who are helped and leaves them in debt to the one who has helped them.
But not prayer! When we pray for others, we can do nothing evil but only good for them. We simply place them in God's hands and then withdraw. When we do that, they don't even know that we have prayed for them, unless we happen to tell them.
As James reminds us, “the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
