Acts 12:5

5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.

Here we see a good picture of the whole body hurting when one member is hurting. Peter is in prison and the whole church is earnestly praying for him. This verse makes me really ask myself if I really turn to prayer during the times when people are hurting or even when I simply say that I will pray for people. Usually when I tell myself that I will pray for someone it is just a quick prayer as I am right before I go to bed. The application to this verse is that from now on I am going to be more like the early church and set aside time everyday just to pray for others.
