Intercessory prayer is not simply praying for or about someone who has a problem. It is not praying for a change of circumstances. Intercessory prayer is grounded in Christ's redemption.
It is through redemption that we become people of God. Here the intercessor stands in the place of God and takes on God's mind set and point of view. It allows the intercessor to judge a situation rightly and based on Christ's redemption to take it before the Throne of God. God will honor the petition so long as you prayed according to His will in the first place.
Daily Prayer: Father teach us to pray as we ought to. Give us confidence to stand in for You when the we are called to. We know You hear our prayer because of Christ and His making us a child of the Most High. For this reason, let us pray boldly and in Jesus' name. Amen.
