When we pray for other people and focus on their needs and concerns we are involved in a significant form of volunteerism – we are investing our time in the lives of other people and when we do that, personal benefits are returned to us. We begin to feel a sense of value and purpose when we are invested for the good of another. Surely this is, in part, what Jesus meant in Matthew 16:25 when he talked about “giving up” and “finding”.
