Job’s friends were brought back to God through his intercessory prayer on their behalf. We even see intercession on the Cross when Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) But how often are we stepping outside of our selfish & self-serving requests to pray on behalf of others…or even taking our eyes off our bellybuttons to look up & beyond to pray for a hurting world? We are called to pray for others…to stand in the gap on behalf of another before our Heavenly Father, praying for His Divine Will, regardless of the circumstances. And pleading that they would recognize & fully understand that God loves them & desires only the very best in their situation.
