Why
pray for those you do not know? This
question came to me one day, ironically, while I was praying. Immediately my
question was answered by Scripture and the whisperings of the Holy Spirit.
We are engaged in an epic battle; a battle of good
against evil, right against wrong. Each and every person is engaged in this
battle, this fight. The devil is throwing temptations and trials at every
available opportunity. Each prayer is a defense to help in this fight. Each
whisper toward heaven can buoy a spirit in a way we will never understand. So
pray; pray for those you do know and those you don’t. Every prayer counts.
Ephesians 6:12 - For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
