ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Intercessory prayer

Intercessory prayer is when someone prays to God for another person. It's like when you ask your mommy or daddy to pray for your friend who is sick or your grandma who needs help.

When people pray for others, they are asking God to help that person in some way. It could be for healing or comfort, for strength or guidance, or even just to have a good day.

Many people believe that God listens to these prayers and can intervene to make things better for the person being prayed for. It's like sending a message to God and trusting that He will answer it.

Intercessory prayer is a way of showing love and care for others, and many people find it to be a powerful way of connecting with God and helping those in need.
