Love to Pray Week 4

“What to look forward to learning about”
The difference in types of prayers, moving from Petition (Praying for ourselves) to Intercession (Praying for Others).
In Intercession, believers go before the Lord and make requests on behalf of others, kind of like being a friend in the middle for someone else. Many hurting people need what only God can give them. And God chooses to give his good gifts in response to the Intercessory prayers of his people.

We can be friends in the middle to God’s lost and hurting world. God seeks intercessors not because he lacks the wisdom or power to govern the world without them, but because he, in his sovereign good pleasure, has chosen to govern the world through the prayers of his people.

Intercession is not optional. It is a necessary and important part of God’s way of working. Things will happen when we pray that would not have happened if we had not prayed.

Think of the 5 letters in the word BLESS to recall how to intercede in prayer for Family, Friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. Refer to page 49 in your Love To Pray devotional.
We are to also pray for those who do not know Jesus yet. Prayer Evangelism is when God moves in the hearts and minds and lives of people in response to earnest prayers of believers.

Let us know your “Ah Hahs” as you read this week’s de optional pages.
