Day 6: Interceding for Others
Scriptures:
1 Timothy 2:1-2 (New Testament):
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.”
Job 42:10 (Old Testament):
“And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.”
Reflection: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 calls us to make intercessions for others, including leaders. Job 42:10 demonstrates how Job’s intercession led to his own restoration and blessings.
Questions:
Who in your life or community could benefit from your intercession today, and how can you specifically pray for them?
How has interceding for others impacted your own spiritual journey or experiences?
