Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
— Philippians 4:6
(Holman Christian Standard Bible)

“A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses. I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me. His face, that hitherto may have been strange and intolerable to me, is transformed in intercession into the countenance of a brother for whom Christ died, the face of a forgiven sinner.”
