Have you ever had a person that was heavy on your heart and you took the time to pray on their behalf? This is called intercessory prayer. Not only are we an encouragement and blessing to them but we also come away blessed after praying.
The Bible is clear that all Christians are called to be intercessors. What a privilege we have to be able to pray boldly to our God with our needs and the needs of others.
Ephesians 6:18, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."
Whatever we are going through, there is someone we know that is hurting, going through a trial, facing fear or the unknown, that we can lift up to the Lord in prayer. We should always be aware of others and their burdens and take the time to pray for our families, friends and all of God's people.
It will not only affect their lives, but it will affect our lives also.
Love in Christ,
Tera
