The Role of the Faithful Intercessor
One of the ways that we care and show our love for others is through prayer. There are many models of intercessory prayer in Scripture – prayers for Paul and for Moses.
When we pray for others…
- We bring glory to God.
- We reflect the way Jesus prays for us.
- We reflect God’s kindness.
- We draw nearer to God.
So let us lift one another up in prayer to our Father in Heaven!
