Pray by Name for Those You Teach
“I have prayed for thee,” the Savior said to Peter, “that thy faith fail not” (Luke 22:32). Think about what happens inside you when you pray for someone—how does your prayer affect the way you feel about that person? Following the Savior’s example, pray by name for the people you teach who have the greatest needs. Pray to know and understand their specific needs, and ask Heavenly Father to “prepare their hearts” (Alma 16:16) to learn the things that will help meet those needs.
Scriptural example. What does Alma’s prayer on behalf of the Zoramites teach me about loving others? (see Alma 31:24–36).
Question to ponder. As I pray for those I teach, what impressions do I receive?
