Podcasts about praying for others

When we bow our heads, it's natural for our prayers to center on us—our needs, our pain, our struggles. But one of the clearest signs of spiritual maturity is when prayer shifts outward. When you choose to step into the fight for someone else. That's intercession. It's when you stand in the gap, not for your benefit, but because someone else desperately needs Heaven to break through. And God, in His mercy, chooses to move through your faith on their behalf.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.” — 1 Timothy 2:1 (ESV)Paul wasn't suggesting here—he was commanding. “All people.” That means more than the safe circle of friends and family. It means the coworker who irritates you. The politician you disagree with. Even your enemies. Intercessory prayer is bold. It stretches your heart to match the heart of Jesus, who “always lives to make intercession” for us (Hebrews 7:25).Brother, when you pray for someone else, you are literally stepping into Christ's current ministry in Heaven. You're linking arms with Him in His role as Intercessor. That's powerful.But don't overcomplicate it. Effective intercession isn't about impressive phrases or marathon prayers—it's about alignment. It's about love. It's listening for what God desires in that person's life and agreeing with it. True intercession isn't twisting God's arm—it's saying “Yes, Lord” to His will and standing in faith until it breaks through.And make no mistake—this is warfare. To intercede is to battle for someone's freedom, healing, and destiny. Your prayer can be the shield that stops the enemy's attack, the sword that cuts through confusion, or the torch that lights their way out of darkness. Sometimes your intercession is the very thing that tips the scales.So when God places a name or face on your heart, don't dismiss it. That's not random. That's an assignment from Heaven. Don't ignore it. Because your prayer could be the difference between despair and hope, bondage and freedom, defeat and victory.Question of the Day:Who is God asking you to intercede for today—and are you willing to fight for them in prayer?Mini Call to Action:Take five intentional minutes. Shut the door, silence distractions, and go to war in prayer for the one God places on your heart. Then let them know—you're praying.Prayer:Lord, make me a faithful intercessor. Give me Your heart for others. Teach me to hear Heaven's agenda and pray it boldly. Let my prayers move mountains, bring freedom, and release breakthrough over those You love.Let's Get To Work!Your intercession is not wasted—it's ammunition in someone else's war.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe!

In this episode of Chai Beauty, I reflect on Session Six of the When You Pray Bible study, which focuses on interceding for others in prayer. While it's easy to pray for friends, intercession often challenges us most when it involves those who are difficult to love or those we've been separated from.I share how scriptures like 1 Peter 5:8–11 and Romans remind us that suffering is universal—and that God calls us to stand firm in faith by lifting others up, even in our own trials. Through personal stories and lessons, I explore the tension between selfishness and obedience, what it means to truly love with patience, and why forgiveness and reconciliation matter in God's eyes.We'll explore:Why interceding can feel harder than personal prayerLearning to pray for those who challenge usThe privilege of caring for others as God cares for usWhy forgiveness is for you, and reconciliation is for usLiving out patient, protective, and unconditional Christian love

One of the greatest privileges of prayer is intercession—praying for others. It's easy to make prayer only about ourselves, our needs, and our struggles. But discipleship calls us to lift up those around us—to carry their burdens before the throne of God. When you pray for others, you are partnering with Heaven to release blessing, protection, and breakthrough into their lives.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.” — 1 Timothy 2:1 (ESV)Paul's words to Timothy remind us that intercession is not optional—it's foundational. Prayer is not only about our walk with God but about advancing His Kingdom in the lives of others. Intercession is one of the most selfless acts of love a disciple can give.So how do we pray for others effectively?* Pray specifically. Don't just say “Lord, bless them.” Ask God to reveal specific needs—healing, courage, provision, wisdom. Call out their name before the Father.* Pray Scripture. Nothing strengthens prayer like aligning it with God's Word. Pray verses of hope, healing, and strength directly over their situation.* Pray persistently. Jesus taught persistence in prayer through the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18). Don't give up after one prayer—keep lifting them up until the breakthrough comes.* Pray with compassion. Let your heart feel their burden. True intercession flows from love, not obligation.When you intercede, you are literally standing in the gap for someone else. Ezekiel 22:30 tells us that God looked for someone to stand in the gap. Today, you can be that person.Never underestimate how your prayers can shape someone's destiny. You may not see immediate results, but your intercession invites God's hand into their life in ways unseen. And often, as you pray for others, God begins to soften and strengthen your own heart as well.Question of the Day:Who in your life is God calling you to pray for today with intentionality and faith?Mini Call to Action:Pick one person and commit to intercede for them daily this week—by name, with Scripture, and with expectation.Prayer:Lord, give me a heart of compassion for others in prayer. Teach me to intercede faithfully, to pray Your Word over their lives, and to believe for breakthroughs on their behalf. Use me as one who stands in the gap.Let's Get To Work!Your prayers for others matter. Stand in the gap today—you may be the reason someone else finds victory tomorrow.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe!

Continuing our Sunday evening series on prayer, Graham focuses this week on how we pray for others (1 Timothy 2: 1-7).

Praying for others | James | 23-2-25 by Capital Vineyard Church

It matters how we live our Christian lives

It matters how we live our Christian lives

As we intercede, pray, and lift up all our concerns unto the Lord, may His peace assure us and surround us.

John moves to prayer in this passage concerning others dealing with sin. This is a challenging passage, but gives us perspective on how to pray for others rather than being judgmental.

In this episode of The Crosswalk Devotional, we focus on the powerful act of praying for others who are far from the Lord. It can be heartbreaking to see loved ones struggle in their faith, but prayer can be a transformative lifeline. We’ll explore the importance of intercession and how our prayers can invite God’s love and grace into their lives. Through scripture and personal testimonies, we’ll share practical strategies for effective prayer and how to remain hopeful in the journey of bringing others closer to God. Join the Conversation: We want to hear from you! How do you pray for those who are distant from their faith? Share your stories and insights with us on social media @LifeaudioNetwork or via email. What scriptures or prayers have encouraged you during these times?

If you say you're going to pray for someone, do you really mean it? It can be so easy to say the words: I'll be praying for you, and then, well, move on with our day, completely forgetting to stop and pray. Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Dave and Kim Butts, and Kathy Branzell share with us about the beauty of praying for others, on Revive Our Hearts Weekend, with Dannah Gresh.

On Sunday 26th Jan we explored praying for others as a church community as part of our series 'Kingdom Foundations'.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. There is a power in agreement when we pray in Jesus' name. Christ said in Matthew 18, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them.” And later, His disciple John wrote, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." Praying with others powerfully effects both us and the person we're praying with, as we seek God's will in our lives. It's also a great way to open the door to a spiritual conversation. I ask waiters, cab drivers, and store clerks all over the world how I can pray for them, and almost all of them give me their requests. I then offer to go before God right then and there if they are able to join me. This has started many Gospel conversations that God has used to bring men and women into His family. So let me encourage you today—ask someone how you can pray with them. And then take the time do it. Learn more at sharelife.today.

Remember that the best gift we can give to others is prayer.

November 17, 2024. Pastor Luke Dunn. 1 Timothy 2:1-5. The post “Intercession: Praying for Others” 1 Timothy 2:1-5 appeared first on First Baptist Church Aledo, IL.

Praying Like the Master - Part 3 - On Earth as it is in Heaven - Jesus is commanding us not to be cynical about this world, but to take responsibility for the mess humanity is in, to feel the sorrow that God feels and ask Him to change things for good. Daniel's prayer is an example of a man who lived in prosperity and peace, but he was heartbroken for the state of his people, and even counted himself responsible for the sins of his fathers. How does this serve as a model for us to pray effectively for world events as well as the heartache we see around us every day? fore more information about First Baptist Conroe go to fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Today we're talking about how easy it can be to let the “me, myself & I” mentality take over and how important it is to lift each other up in prayer. Who in your life can you be praying for right now? Let's go to the Story House!

Welcome to another episode of Sandals Church Podcast! In this episode Pastor Fredo Ramos talks about the importance of Intercessory prayer. He dives into the challenges and rewards of maintaining the discipline of prayer in contemporary times teeming with distractions and rampant cynicism. He also explores the role of faith in igniting both - prayer and purposeful action, and the crucial involvement of intercessory prayer as a form of spiritual warfare against forces disrupting unity and love.

Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.- John Calvin When it comes to prayer, we often worry about the right words to say or wonder if we are praying “enough.” But Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6 that God values sincere, heartfelt prayer over eloquent, lengthy prayer.In the busyness of life, it's easy to mutter quick, repetitive prayers without much thought. But God sees the heart and wants us to come to him earnestly. The number of words we use doesn't matter; what matters is the motivation behind those words.The key is simply coming to God earnestly, trusting Him fully, whether your words are few or many. He knows what we need before we even ask. As our relationship with Him deepens, our prayers will become a lifeline, keeping us connected to the One who loves us most. Get your copy of TheMarriageGift.comCheck out all our resources shop.marriageaftergod.comfollow us on Instagram.com/marriageaftergod
