practicing intercession

Open Your Bible

Acts 12:5-12, Ephesians 6:18

 

Today is a good, good day. Today, we as a community of women are going to put into action the principle of prayer we have discussed over the last two days. Today, we will intentionally participate in the privilege of intercession.

Grab a pen and paper, and let’s dive in.

Write out a prayer of intercession:

  • Identify the need(s) of a person or community. Simply quiet your heart before the Lord and listen as he brings a person or group to mind. Write down their name(s).

  • With that person/group on your heart, review the days of instruction and examples of intercession.

  • Write a prayer to the Lord on behalf of that person or group of people using the principles of prayer we have learned from the examples of Jesus, Nehemiah and Moses.

  • Praise God that He hears your prayer and that He is always, always, always faithful. Amen.

    GOD HEARS ALL OF THESE INTECESSARY PRAYERS! I would like to add my prayers, though it is a long list, God hears each and every one. I praise God that He is all powerful and His timing is perfect. Not my will, but yours be done. I lift up my best friend who just lost her close cousin to cocaine addiction. I pray that she would know the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, and that she will experience His love and restoration. I pray for my dad who is unahppy at his workplace. There are dark forces gathering amongst his coworkers, and I pray that God will defeat those spirits of dissension so that my dad can go to work each day with a peaceful heart. I pray for direction for my husband in his career which is just beginning. Sometimes He feels lost in His calling, but I am thankful He can recognize God's guidance. I pray for my 5 siblings at school, that they will make godly choices each day and shine the light of Jesus through their joy and decisions. I pray for a friend at church whose newborn son has a heart condition. I cannot imagine how scary that must be, and I beg God for His mercy and healing to be poured out on that family. Thank you gracious Lord for hearing these prayers and for answering them according to your will.
