While the real-time combat in Kingdom Hearts is fun and keeps the action lively, replenishing my health or MP in the middle of combat can be tough to pull off. Fortunately, I’m not in the battle alone… my partners can provide support with actions and items that strengthen and heal me when I am getting weak, and I can do the same for them. While being able to help each other is nice, there is a downside… doing this requires us to take the time out of our own part of the battle to unselfishly serve someone else’s needs. But healing others is the gift that keeps on giving… their renewed strength helps lead our team to victory, and when I take damage in battle they will do the same for me.

The act of interceding in prayer for others is one of our most critical responsibilities as members of one body in Christ… but it’s easy to become so fixated on our own struggles in life that the needs of others aren’t always the priority they should be. But as Job learned, it was only after he prayed for the restoration of others that his own blessings were unlocked… and it’s in our willingness to intercede and pray for others that our own victories are found.

And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:10

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16
