on the night before his death, Jesus prayed at length for his disciples , asking his Father to "watch over them because of the wicked one." (John 17:15) How loving of Jesus! He was About to undergo a difficult trial of his own; yet he was concerned about the welfare of his apostles.
In imitation of Jesus, we do nor focus only on our own needs. Instead, we regularly pray for our brothers and sisters. When we do that, weare obeying Jesus' command to love one another and we show Jehovah just how much we love our fellow blievers. (13:34) Praying for our brothers and sisters is not a waste of time. God's Word tells us that "arighteous man's supplication has a powerful effect." - James 5:16.
