While the real-time combat in Kingdom Hearts is fun and keeps the action lively, replenishing Sora’s health or MP in the middle of combat can be a bit tough to pull off. Fortunately, he’s not in the battle alone… his partners Donald and Goofy can provide support with actions and items that strengthen and heal him when he is getting weak, and Sora can do the same for them. Now, there is an inconvenient catch to this… healing others requires the “healer” to take time out of their 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 the entire team to victory, and a healed teammate is now able to help others who find themselves in a position of similar need later on.

The act of interceding in prayer for each other is one of our most important responsibilities as fellow team members in the body of Christ. But if we’re being honest, we can get so overwhelmed dealing with our own personal challenges in life that praying for the needs of others isn’t always the priority that it needs to be. As Job learned through his battles, it was only after he obediently prayed for the restoration of his friends that his own blessings in life were unlocked, and it is our willingness to intercede for others in the middle of our own storms that our victories in life 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
