Intercession | Prayer Day 5
We have the privilege and opportunity to offer prayers of intercession on behalf of so many people!
1 Timothy 2:1 says: “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone.”
People need the Lord in these days, whether they admit it or not. What an awesome gift and privilege is ours to pray for one another! Have you ever stopped to consider that someone prayed you into God’s kingdom? Have you ever asked someone for prayer concerning matters of your heart? You have the privilege and opportunity to offer prayers of intercession on behalf of so many people who are experiencing fear and anxiety right now: unsaved loved ones, friends, family, coworkers, health workers, police officers, firefighters, and others. We have the ability to cry out to God on their behalf, to stand in the gap for them. Prayers of intercession are powerful!
