Kathy,many years ago a South African
pastor and theologian named Andrew Murray
was known as an expert writer on the subject
of prayer.I love his work,and among many
other things he wrote were these words:
What a gift of grace to be allowed to
work with God in intercession for the needs of others! What a blessing to mingle my
prayers with His!WHAT AN HONOR TO HAVE
POWER WITH GOD IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW CHRIST!What a privilege to bring to Him the Church,INDIVIDUALS,ministers,or
missionaries,and plead on their behalf
until He entrusts me with the answer!
As God's children we are blessed to pray
together until victory is gained over difficulties here on earth or OVER THE
POWERS OF DARKNESS!
For a long time we may have thought
of prayer simply as a means of supplying our needs in life.May God help us to see the place INTERCESSION takes in His divine counsel,AND IN HIS WORK FOR THE KINGDOM.
May our hearts really feel that there is
no honor or joy on earth at all equal to
the unspeakable privilege of waiting upon
God and INTERCEDING FOR THE BLESSING HE DELIGHTS TO GIVE!
Andrew Murray
Kathy,it my humble opinion that you
are in good company.
