Interceding for Others

Ephesians 6:18-20

Pray  at all times in the Spirit  with every prayer and request, and stay alert  with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness  the mystery of the gospel. For this I am an ambassador  in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough to speak about it as I should.

The passage highlighted the power of intercessory prayer, reminding us that our prayers for others can have a profound impact. Paul's words to the Ephesians echo this, urging believers to pray for all the saints. Intercessory prayer is an act of love, aligning our hearts with God's and participating in His work in others' lives. It also reminds us that we're part of a larger body of believers, connected in spirit even when physically apart. Today, set aside time to pray specifically for others. This could include family, friends, church leaders, or even those who have wronged you. Ask God to show you how to pray effectively for their needs, and trust that He is working even when you can't see the results.
