Today : Intercessory Prayer
TODAY’S VERSE
“You are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.” II Corinthians 1:11 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Paul took intercessory prayer seriously. He knew the effect of sincere dedicated prayer on someone else’s behalf. He was constantly praying for the many churches he had planted and worked in. He tirelessly prayed for their needs and God answered his prayers. Now he is thanking the Corinthians for praying for him and acknowledging that God was answering their prayers in mighty ways. We too can pray on behalf of others. We can pray for our family. Pray for our church. Pray for our neighbors and those we work with. We can pray for those that are suffering and in great need. We can pray for their provision, perseverance and protection. We can pray for their salvation, guidance and healing. Today, hear what Paul wrote and believe, “You are helping by praying!”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I come today to pray for others. Help me as I intercede on their behalf. Help me pray the way You want me to with deep conviction and faith, believing that You answer prayers. Might You receive all the praise and glory. In Jesus’ name I pray.
AMEN
