| As believers in Jesus Christ, we have been invited into a loving relationship with God as Father and Friend, a relationship that allows us to intercede for others. As we intercede, we take the place of another loved one, stranger, individual, or nation in prayer. If our primary motivation for prayer becomes interceding to achieve the results we desire, we will ultimately fail. But when we approach intercession as an opportunity to partner with our Father, we draw into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. We also find ourselves being used by God to make history and change lives. |
