We should pray for one another because it increases our love for each
other. In Matthew 5:44 Jesus said, "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
Certainly we should pray for our enemies because then we are expressing the love of God, which is the type of love that is given despite it not being deserved.
But perhaps Jesus commands us to pray for our enemies also because He knows in this act of praying our hearts will be softened and changed towards them. Here Jesus links prayer and love because they go hand in hand for the Christian. Praying for people not only has impact on their life since you are helping usher in the hand of God when it corresponds to His will, but praying for others also changes your heart towards that person.
