Helps to Intercession
By Andrew Murray
What to Pray – For the Power of the Holy Spirit in Our Sunday Schools
Thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and will save thy children. -Isa. 49:25.
Every part of the work of God’s Church is His work. He must do it. Prayer is the confession that He will – the surrender of ourselves into His hands to let Him – work in us and through us. Pray for the hundreds of thousands of Sunday School teachers, that those who know God may be filled with His Spirit. Pray for your own Sunday School. Pray for the salvation of the children.
How to Pray – Boldly
We have a great High Priest, Jesus the Son of God. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace. -Heb. 4: 14, 16.
These hints to help us in our work of intercession – what are they doing for us? Making us conscious of our feebleness in prayer? Thank God for this. It is the very first lesson we need on the way to pray the effectual prayer that availeth much. Let us persevere, taking each subject boldly to the throne of grace. As we pray we shall learn to pray and to believe and to expect with increasing boldness. Hold fast your assurance: it is at God’s command you come as an intercessor. Christ will give you grace to pray aright.
our children are well beyond Sunday school age so we don’t know our church teachers but pray that they love the Lord and love the children. We would appreciate it if the SS teachers were recognized and commended in front of the congregation so we could know who to direct our prayers for.
Thank you, Doug Jelinek
Also, thank you Mark for your ministry and morning message.
Great idea Doug!
That is a great request Doug. I like to have faces in my mind when I pray. It makes it seem more sincere.
I agree Sandy, Pray for Mark and Sonia, and Mark Williams in the meantime for sure. I haven’t been to church in so long im forgetting what they all look like.
