Session 1<br><b>Joy in Prayer</b><br><br><b>Believers find joy in praying for the spiritual growth of others.</b><br>Philippians 1:1-11<br><br>Friends who will pray for us are treasured. Their prayers encourage, direct, and challenge us in our spiritual lives. Their prayers create an unbreakable bond with prayer being one way of communicating love for another person. Paul had forged a special relationship with the believers in Philippi, and that relationship grew through genuine prayer that focused on continued spiritual growth.<br><br><b>How does praying with a person build or strengthen a relationship? Should prayer be a part of every healthy relationship? Explain.</b>
