A prayerful encounter with a nursing home resident this morning caused me to be reminded that those anointed and appointed by God for Christian service have both the sacred obligation and wonderful privilege of coming confidently before the Most High on behalf of others.
In his book, Prayer: Finding the heart's true home, Richard Foster states that "by means of intercessory prayer God extends to each of us a personalized, hand-engraved invitation to become intimately involved in labouring for the well-being of others." (pg. 214)
We can each make a difference if we act personally on the sacred privilege of Intercessory Prayer.
Matthew 6:14 (MSG) ~ "In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do."
