    Amen!! When I was little I was told when people hurt you never hate them pray for them to soften their heart. By prayer we heal as it will heal them too. Amen!!

    So, I've actually had a huge burden lately for someone I have a crush on at my school. He's not a Christain and I hate seeing him living in the darkness. I've been praying for him for a long time, and I really hope God is using my prayers to work something wonderful in his life.❤

      Same! It’s such a burden because it’s something with him that is so special and I really, really want to pray that he might open up his heart to God, and that God may use me to do that if He wants to.
      I always feel hopeless and discouraged to pray, cause it feels like it’s impossible for him and everyone else around me to change.. but it isn’t! Cause then it would’ve been impossible to save me, which it wasn’t.
      So I’ll continue to pray and see what happens. I want Him to shine His light through me. I want others to be affected as moved by me, and I pray that I pray won’t be affected by their darkness.
      But then again, it’s hard because I do tend to overthink a lot.

    My best friend prayed relentlessly for me and with me during my family break up and was a great source of strength to me. I couldn't have asked for more love from a human being at a,time when I was so broken. She needs prayer for her needs now and seems to believe that my prayers seem to work more than hers. But Jesus said that wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in his name he would be there also. Whether we're together in person, phone or social media, he is in the conversation. Amazing! Just believe and your prayers are blessed!

    Q.Why we should do the intercessary prayer
    1. Jesus Himself interceeds for us
    2. Holy Spirit helps us to pray what to pray for others or for the nation.
    3. Our love grows for the people we pray for
    4. By answered prayer we can glorify God and His name.
    Love it. Let us be intercessor prayer warriors in this generation fight for the nation and government and mostly souls. In Jesus name!

    Sometimes I am led by the spirit of God to intercede for my friends and family.This gives me immense joy and pleasure.I also experienced of God’s way of answering in due time.
    And now after watching this video,I am encouraged to intercede more for the perishing souls.

    I am a new believer , a baby believer I was saved not long ago not expecting it. I am so thirsty for the Lord and want to spread his word but I know that I am not ready to speak God's word in my thinking because I'm fresh and don't know. Anyways I was in the gym and saw this man and I've seen him before and he looks tormented I'm not going to lie , anyways he stopped and asked me how I'm doing and we started talking and then I seen how jumpy he was and I was slight fearful but not fearful but because I believe and know the Lord is protecting me. Anyways he was open to hearing me share my story about my repentance. And said he does believes in Jesus , but I know he's not living for the Lord or is held down. Anyways randomly as we were speaking I felt the holy spirit over take me and I didn't think Id do this but I feel like I would like to pray with you . Anyways I was praying and couldn't come out right so I went and put my left hand on the shoulder thinking I could pray better . I ended up praying the best I could for him , and I truly believe that it did help slightly at the least and just show there is love from Jesus Christ for him as well. But my hand was hurting after I did that and it could be because I'm weak and maybe that was not the right thing to do . I tend to jump ahead of myself. I'm not taking it back or regretting it bc I chose to pray for him and I could see he was tormented. Is there a reason why my hand Hurts after that ? Is that a sign I'm not ready or weak or is it not a big deal? Regardless I'm going to ask for more prayer about it but I'm curious if this has ever happened to anyone ?

    Please pray for my family today.
    My husband (Jamie) of 15 years left the family home and is with a female from his work (Dee).
    He has been sinning and has always found it hard to humble himself and repent.
    I am starting to see God's hand in this. He went to the other woman's house last night only for an hour and then home (he usually stays over).
    I think he is battling and knows what the right things is to do but can't bring himself to do it. The enemy has taken enough from my family!
    God is a loving, restoring God. I had a dream and I think it means I have to round up prayer warriors, fast and pray for this battle. Thank you, Sarah.

    I'm not one to tell too much about myself or what I do for God.
    But this video confirms something for me that I do like to share!
    I have this mate of mine in the US. To keep this short, he's going up and down in emotions, feels lonely and misunderstood by his family and local church (his dad is in fact a pastor apparently), gets bullied at school, has an extreme low self esteem...
    And I could tell if I cannot show him love now, he will likely take his own life - THAT's how serious it was. He's already done self-harm.
    But somehow, God has blessed me in a very strange way. I myself have gone through pretty much everything this guy is going through, when I was a kid (7-13). So now I know what it's like to be in that position. However, Jesus was there with me. And in such a way, I want this young man (19) to know Jesus is also with Him. God has made clear He appointed me to be this 'visible love' that God has for him, as best as I can.
    Now I've prayed for him more often than I can remember I've done for anybody else.
    And already I can see things changing in him! He's more open to me, he's more trusting to me, and best of all he says he is giving God another chance. Meaning he will try and trust God again, which he had quite nearly given up on because his parents are "Christian". That is quite something!
    So this video is quite an encouragement. Glad to see by praying I'm doing a good thing for this young man. But as you said,
    All glory to God!

      him. It looks a v.difficult problem.
      Yes sad to hear his story coz it actually brings u down( yes in self- esteem) so much that it is difficult to rise against such a situation..
      He too is blessed to hav someone who cares n understands his pain in this busy fast world.. But ofcourse, God's people who Love God n wanna obey His Word wil b Persistent.
      May he cum out of dis n know who he is in Christ. A special unique person whom the Lord is looking upon him frm above
      with His arms spread wide and so much Love in His eyes to lok to Him.
      God Bless you more n more.
      May we all Christians be encouraged n inspired by one another and reach out to those in pain.

      God bless you abundantly! 🙏 I have a 19 year old son who was once ON FIRE for Jesus and set up a Christian Discord Server and everything. I hope and I pray that he is still in a right relationship with our Father in Heaven. 🙏 But if he wasn't, I sure hope and pray God would send someone like you that he could relate to and trust who would intercede for him and give him sound advice. Seriously, may the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bless you and yours abundantly!! Thank you for being bold and compassionate. 🙌

      I'm asking because, after all, this is no time to become isolated but to work together where we may :)
      May your family be keeping well, may the Lord keep providing for you and those around you.

    I am an overthinker in many respects, praise God for his gifts. I’m really wanting to dig into this topic. Every answer anyone gives can be countered with “why?”. Of course we want to glorify God, but why does that mean we pray for others, we are just glorifying him in our prayer closet. If the prayers of a righteous man avail much, why can’t you pray for you and I pray for myself? Is it ‘less powerful’? Unity is the best overall answer I’ve come up with- scriptures that talk about putting others needs above your own; do nothing from selfish ambition.
    Paul saying he needs the prayers of the saints, but why? Ironically I ask for prayer as I seek revelation about praying for others.

I want to know the right way and all the great things behide it. I feel ashamed that I don't know.. but then I guess I shouldn't feel that way? .. because you don't know what you don't know.

To please and glorify God.. also I want to feel good about myself.. and doing those things brings me so much joy at times I just cry.. it just means so much to me.

If I can't picture them because I've never met them and only heard about them, I picture the person who asked for prayer for them and say something like...
      "Father God I lift up Larry's neighbor to You in prayer for xyz (if I know the reason OR I don't know what he/she needs Father, but You do) and I pray that Your will is done in their life and that they come out of this storm triumphantly.

      There is not one good... as Romans says, ALL have fallen short of the glory of God. Paul later says that he doesn't know why he does the things he doesn't want to but not the things he wants to do. We live in a sinful world and it is a constant battle. If you are sincere and don't have unbelief, God hears your prayers. But I would suggest since you feel disconnected to Him that you begin reading His Word!! Only 9% of self professing Christians actually read the Bible, statistically speaking. And faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Our minds CANNOT and WILL NOT be transformed without reading the Word. I recommend starting with the book of John as it really shows how LOVED we are. 🥰
