We pray often for ourselves and the needs of those we love. My prayers for all of my needs should be balanced by prayers for all of your needs. My prayers for my children and grandchildren need to be balanced with praying for your children and grandchildren. Intercession for others keeps my prayer life from being entirely self-centered. Pray for the lost, the sick, the hungry, the abandoned, the forgotten, the imprisoned, the lonely, the widow, the orphan, the trafficked child, and all the hurting ones around us that we have not yet even seen.
“With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.” Ephesians 6:18 (NASB)
