Day 17 – Intercession

Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1

"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people."

Devotional Reflection

Intercession is the privilege of partnering with God through prayer on behalf of others. As we pray for our families, church, leaders, and those who do not yet know Christ, we become channels of God's love, grace, and power.

Today, lift others before the Lord, trusting Him to work in their lives according to His purposes.

Prayer Focus

- Pray for ECB pastors, leaders, and ministries.

- Pray for government and community leaders.

- Pray for those who do not yet know Jesus.

- Ask God to strengthen and encourage those facing difficulties.

Prayer
