Prayer: Day 3 | Intercession |


Intercessory prayer is not the same as prayers for yourself.
Intercession is praying with the real hope and real intent that God would step in..
and act for the positive advancement of  another person(s).
It is trusting God to act, even if it's not in the manner or timing we are expecting.
God wants us to ask, even urgently.
It is having a bit of God's passion burning in us.
Pray for someone else today. Intercede for them.
It can be for family, friends, church leaders, world leaders, and lost souls.
I can be anyone you feel a burden for.

The best gift anyone can give to another is to pray for him or her.
We live in a sinful world where bad things happen to people and people are tempted to sin.
Praying for another person not only helps that person find God in the midst of trouble,
but also helps us recognize the blessings that God gives us daily!

  "I urge, then, first of all, that requests,
prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone -
for kings and all those in authority,
that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth"
1 Timothy 2:1-5




Today we pray..
1. Prayer and Thanksgiving
2. Confession and Forgiveness
3. Intercession

"And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
Romans 8:27
