PRAYING FOR OTHERS James 5:16 ...The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Late one afternoon, while in California, the word “Kuruman” came to my mind. I asked the Lord why I was thinking of this place in South Africa. He reminded me that it was almost four in the morning there, and that a pastor who was driving through that town, was falling asleep at the wheel. I immediately began to intercede for him, so that he would wake up and avoid an accident. I continued to pray until the Lord gave me the assurance that the situation had been taken care of. Many times God wants us to intercede for others, and is looking for a person who is willing to be used by Him. Ezekiel 22:30 states, “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.” Will you be the one the Lord is looking for to intercede? Prayer Thought Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but taking hold of God’s willingness. P. Brooks. Build a bridge between your heart and theirs, and then let Jesus walk across it!
