›› Intercessory Prayer
Intercessory prayer is the one type of prayer that God delights to answer above all others. When you pray for others, you are joining with the great Intercessor: Jesus prayed for others more than for Himself. He prayed for you! (See John 17.)
One of the evidences that prayer works is that when we pray for others, even without their knowledge, our prayers make a difference. Remember three things: (1) you are making the request on behalf of a friend in need; (2) the One you are asking has what is needed; and (3) you and the One you are asking are also friends!
God is willing to give and delights in responding to our requests. But there are times when He is silent for a time in order to test the genuineness of our desires, of our trust in Him.
