This week we join together in prayer, each day having its own theme and focus.

Friday – Prayers of Intercession

When Israel was in sin, the Lord spoke to the prophet Ezekiel, saying “I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none” (Ezekiel 22:30).

Tonight is a time of standing in the breach before the Lord – to appeal to Him on behalf of the land, the government, the church, those in our lives who are sick or hurting, the list goes on.

Jesus, Himself, is the great Intercessor for our souls (Hebrews 7:25), and intercedes for those who follow Him in His “High Priestly Prayer” of John 17, saying, “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (v. 20-21).

Tonight, we will have the white board available at the front of the sanctuary, and when you feel lead, you are encouraged to write any and all needs you’d like others to pray with you over.

If you find yourself struggling to pray, begin to think of needs you know of in our church, then the community, the nation, and the world. Of course, the greatest need we can pray for is that others will come to know Jesus Christ, as their Savior!
