Intercession

Prayer Minute #0045

Have you heard little children praying 'Bless Mommy, bless Daddy, bless all the missionaries"? Perhaps you have, and maybe you have prayed like that at one time too.

As we mature, we need to grow in our prayer for others. Prayer for others is intercessory prayer. When we pray for others, our heart's prayer and desire should be to invite God to work in their lives.

There are many benefits of intercessory prayer. One of them is praying for others helps us to be more sensitive to the needs of others. That is what God wants.

Father, help us to pray for others and to invite you to work in their lives.. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
