The essence of anyone really wanting to follow Jesus is to be in partnership with others who are on the same path. We pray for each other, because holding each other in our hearts gives us a sensitivity to who they are. It is one of the blessings of community. The nature of life--and faith--is a need of one another. There are "just about me" disciplines. But I don't think Christian faith is one of them.
