Pray For the People in the Congregation

Going to church is about taking part in a community of people who share your faith. If you’re bored or distracted, pray for the people around you. Each one of you is on a personal faith journey with unique struggles and challenges, and we can all use some extra prayers. Observe a few members of the congregation sitting nearby and reflect on their good qualities. Notice how the young mother sitting next to you is especially gentle and loving with her children. The older man in front of you always smiles and shakes your hand in greeting when you arrive. Seeing the good in others can help focus your attention to spiritual matters.
