Intercessory Prayer - The Model

Today is October 13, 2021

Welcome to your mid-week!

Praying for someone is one of the easiest ways to love them. It is one of those things that we learn early and practice often. In fact, it is something that we do during our services each and every Sunday.

However, what Daniel shows us in Daniel 9 is that, more than just lifting some one up in prayer, the approach and the focus of that prayer is equally, if not more, important.

True intercessory prayers is about coming to the Lord with this heartbroken, repentant attitude, recognizing our own unworthiness. That's the approach Daniel shows us. At the same time, the focus of the prayer is for God's glory to be seen. It not whether the prayer is answered. It is not about whether it benefits us or not, or whether it costs everything or not. True intercessory prayer is wanting God's name to be glorified.

That's what Daniel shows us.

Meaning, when it comes to intercessory prayer, Daniel is reminding us not take our ability to approach the throne of God for granted. True reverence is recognizing that we are sinners talking to a Holy God, and that fact should change our approach and focus as we make our requests.

God's blessing upon you as you meditate on Daniel's model of intercessory prayer, and I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.
