Praying for others: Why do we do it that way?

Pastor Bert explores intercessory prayer not as a way to change God, but as a transformative practice that changes us by aligning our hearts with God's will. He emphasizes that prayer isn't merely offering "thoughts and prayers" but should be "meddlesome," prompting us to action as James 2:15-17 teaches, "faith is dead when it doesn't result in faithful activity." Prayer connects us to others' needs and often makes us the very answer to the prayers we offer.
