The Giving Christian - Give Prayer

John 17:1-25

Christians have the privilege of intercession prayer -- pray on behalf of others.

James 5:16

How You Can Pray for Others -- Apply.

John 17:1-25

Pray that others ...

… may know God. Vs. 3

… may be protected by God. Vs. 11, 15

… will have true joy. Vs. 13

… will be spiritually dedicated. Vs. 19

… will be spiritually fruitful. Vs. 20

… will experience true unity in Christ. Vs. 21-23; Ephesians 4:3

Reflect On This Thought:

Intercessory prayer is a gift in the truest sense, because the blessing and benefit is focused on the recipient, not the one praying. It moves is out of the realm of personal interest and into specific concern for specific people.
