The Power of Prayer: Seeking God and Interceding for Others

There's power today as it was in the ages (Ecclesiastes 7:10). We live in a world where people have been distracted by many unimportant and irrelevant factors, forgetting the power of prayer. Seeking God and interceding for others should be the desirable nature of every child of God (Hebrews 7:25).

The struggles for survival in today's hash economy are making headlines in newspaper outlets, offline and online. Still, literally, people seem to forget that the only good news is the word of God, and applying God's word in prayer makes for an effective communion.

Prayer is communication with God, as a child relates to a parent. The Bible gives us so many instances when people prayed and experienced the move of God. If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and seek my face (2 Chronicles 7:14)

There are so many things that prayer does; in fact, it does everything we could ever think of in life, which is why we need to pray always. Here are a few details about the power of prayer: seeking God and interceding for others.

 

What is the power of interceding for others?

There is guidance and wisdom from God due to the power of prayer: seeking God and interceding for others. If you lack wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault and will give it to you (James 1:5).

Let us ask God for wisdom and guidance in making decisions. Remember to tell him to help you navigate life's challenges in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

How powerful is intercessory prayer?

The power of prayer—seeking God and interceding for others—can be adequate when we see peace and comfort for ourselves and others. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Seek God's peace and comfort, especially during stress and anxiety. Talking to God about your needs gives you the power to overcome them.

 

How do I pray and intercede for others?

There are so many things to do in this present world. Among the prayers we seek today are healing and health. People live with physical, emotional, financial, marital, spiritual, and health challenges. I am the Lord who heals you (Exodus 15:26).

Pray for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for yourself and others suffering.

What is the power of praying for someone else?

If we fail in adversity, our faith is little (Proverbs 24:10). So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen, help, and uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). Ask for God's strength and protection in difficult times and against spiritual battles.

Thanksgiving and Praise is an act of prayer: seeking God and interceding for others. It is an act that shows we love our neighbors as ourselves while seeking God and interceding for others. When we do it, we obey God's commandment (Matthew 22 v 39-40).
