Recover Your Life: Prayer We know we “should” pray but does prayer make a difference? Prayer has always been central to the church and the life of Jesus but is often not seen as “doing anything”. Looking at the story of Moses is Exodus 3 we see that Prayer is about intimacy and Intercession. Gods work in the world always starts with God’s work in us and then moves out. Walter Wink says that “history belongs to the Intercessors”. Exodus 2:23-3:10 Luke 11:1-11 Acts 4:23-36 “Prayer is talking to God about what we are going to do together.” - Dallas Willard "The work God wants to do in the world always starts with the work God wants to do in you.” - Matt Pamplin (paraphrasing a bunch of cleverer people) Intercessory prayer is spiritual defiance of what is in the way of what God has promised. Intercession visualizes an alternative future to the one apparently fated by the momentum of current forces. Prayer infuses the air of a time yet to be into the suffocating atmosphere of the present. History belongs to the intercessors who believe the future into being. Even a small number of people, firmly committed to the new inevitability on which they have fixed their imaginations, can decisively affect the shape the future takes. These shapers of the future are the intercessors. (Walter Wink) "God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.” - Mother Teresa
