2 Corinthians 9:14

And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

2 Corinthians 9:14

Here Paul emphasizes that the believers’ prayers for the recipients stem from the extraordinary grace of God in them. Mutual affection and intercession flow from grace, indicating deep relational ties within the body of Christ.

Prayer becomes a concrete expression of community and grace. The verse highlights intercessory care as part of the body’s response to God’s work in others. It shows that grace overflows not just in giving but in longing and spiritual solidarity.

Practical takeaway: establish intentional prayer partnerships with ministries or missionaries funded by your gifts. Pray for the people you’re helping and invite others to join in those prayers. This strengthens relational bonds and keeps generosity connected to spiritual vitality. Share testimonies of answered prayers to reinforce gratitude and ongoing commitment.
