Praying for others-Standing in the Gap

PM#0108

Ez 22:30

In a ball game, when the ball comes your way and you are not ready for the ball, you miss an opportunity which could be disastrous to the out come of the game.

That situation is similar to being ready to pray when a crisis arises. We need to be ready to pray and not put prayer off when God moves us to pray. When we involve ourselves in praying for others, God is able to do a mighty work in their lives. Responding to the call to pray lets God work in the lives of others on their behalf. Ex 22:30 says ‘the Lord sought for a man…that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap.

Father, Encourage us to stand in the gap for others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
