Let me try the simple "Should we?" question again, as simple as I can make it. Forget the saints in heaven. Think only of your brothers and sisters in Christ here on earth. Should we ask them to pray for us?

If this is still too complex, perhaps you could simply answer this one: Is it a good think to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ?

And if you are feeling fulsome: "Is it a good thing to ask our brothers and sisters to pray for us?"

thank you.

I'll make it as simple of a response as I can: Paul asks other Christians to pray for him (Eph. 6:19). Other passages describe believers praying for one another (2 Cor. 1:11; Eph. 1:16; Phil. 1:19; 2 Tim. 1:3).
