From Handbook to Prayer
Intercession
Lord, I now prepare my heart for intercessory prayer for believers.
May your love abound more and more in full knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ—having been filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. (Philippians 1:9–11)
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers. (3 John 2)
In the spirit of these passages, I pray for:
- Personal friends
- Those in ministry
- Those who are oppressed and in need
- Special concerns
