"I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others. I prayed for everyone who came into my thoughts - - people with whom I had traveled, those who had been in prison with me, my school friends of years ago. I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me!"

This quote by Corrie Ten Boom speaks to the power of prayer and how it can be used to assist others. In her own experience, she found that when she prayed for others, her own worry was dispelled. This recommends that when we focus on the requirements of others, our own worries and stress and anxieties can be put aside. It also talks to the power of intercession, or wishing others, as a way to bring peace and convenience to those in need. By wishing those around her, Corrie had the ability to find a sense of peace and freedom from her own worry. This quote is a pointer that when we concentrate on the requirements of others, we can find a sense of peace and comfort in our own lives.
