My aunt recently passed away, leaving behind 2 young girls (16 and 12 years old). I’m trying my best to be there for them and pray for them, and have been asking people to pray for them as well. Until I started question what is the point of asking people to pray for them? I know God hears my prayers, so why do we ask people to pray ?

I’m so sorry for your loss

I think asking people to pray is a way of inviting them into our spiritual practice. My Dad almost died this year and I was desperate for people to pray for him. I remember really wanting God to see how many people loved him and cared for him. I wanted others to communicate with God and ask for his survival

He survived (thank God). But I struggle to say that it was because our prayers were answered - because that means that others don’t get theirs answered. I don’t know why he survived but I know I’m grateful to God that he did

So with your aunt I think it helps for God to hear from others that these girls need love and support. And I think praying for one another forms a spiritual bond that can lead to more support during hardship

Either way- I’m praying for your family

Sorry for your loss and I pray the family is doing well. Prayer is a powerful intercession tool. I think there is power in numbers so I while yes God hears your prayers, he also hears other peoples prayers. I think we have a powerful connection to God with Prayers and it’s also an act of love. It unifies us with the heart of God in relationship by recognizing who He is first and then praying for others. I think also interceding for others is also an act of love that changes the disposition of our hearts as well. I’m not sure if maybe you personally haven’t felt strong in your situation, but that is typically why people also seek prayer for others

Firstly I am sorry about your aunt. I did offer a quick prayer for your cousins too.

I think this is a great question…I don’t have a take on this but I’m definitely interested in seeing what people think.
