Make a Prayer of Intercession

December 13 Excerpts from Oswald Chambers Devotional

Intercessory Prayer ...

. . . men always ought to pray, and not to faint Luke 18:1

True intercession involves bringing the person, .. before God, until you are changed by His attitude toward that person . It is not " putting yourself in someone else's place." That is useless sympathy. Intercession is putting yourself in God's place; it is having His mind and His perspective. Avoid praying that one is simply "patched up." We must pray that person completely into contact with the very life of God. List here 3 People/Circumstances You will intercede for.
