Intercession

Uncommon card · No. 194211

Intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others, or asking God in heaven to pray on behalf of oneself or for others. The Apostle Paul's exhortation to Timothy specified that intercession prayers should be made for all people. I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. A prayer request is a request made by one person asking another to pray for a specific need or concern on their behalf. In certain denominations of Christianity (such as Methodism), worship services may include a designated time during which congregants can share prayer requests, offer praise reports, and give testimonies.
