Intercessory Prayer
Take
the focus off of your own worries and struggles for a moment and open your eyes
and hearts to see those around you who are hurting. This is a challenge.
Prayer, is one way of loving them. Moses is a shining example of intercessory
prayer as he prayed constantly for the rebellious Israelites as they wandered
through the wilderness (Number 21:7). Jesus is another example, as He
intercedes for us before God’s throne (John 17:20, Romans 8:34).
Sample: Lord, I know that You see
all things and hear all cries and feel every brokenness, so You already know
who I’m going to pray for and what their circumstances are, but thank You for
listening to my plea for them all the same. God, You know _________ and how they
are struggling with __________ and what they really need ___________. (The rest
of the prayer will be very subjective.) What can I do practically to love in
this situation? Lead me.
