Group prayer is normally for two or more individuals and involves the lifting up of specific needs for God’s answers. “Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me” (Rom. 15:30). Strive means, “to enter into a contest, to fight against adversaries, to exert strong effort or energy to obtain something.” Paul encouraged the Christians in the church at Rome to pray with a strong effort as if they were fighting in a contest for victory. Paul was seeking the fervency of these Christians in prayer for God’s power within him. It is never out of place for us to ask within the context of group prayer and to other individuals for God to create within us and keep alive a spirit of fervent prayer. How fervent are we in our prayers for others within the church or even for other Christians that may not be a member of our local church? Group prayer is found in multiple places in the Bible. Find someone you can pray with today and strive for answers from God.
