Praying for the world brings healing of flu symptoms

First appeared as a Web Original on May 21, 2020

Is it possible to be benefited ourselves when praying for others?

Yes. If such prayer is motivated by genuine compassion and love, it will inevitably bring blessings and healing to us as well. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science, contains this wonderful teaching: “The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother’s need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another’s good” (p. 518).

I will never forget the way the truth of this statement was illustrated to me one Saturday, when I was battling flu symptoms that were getting increasingly worse despite the fact that I had been praying about the condition for several days.
