"Somebody somewhere is praying for you." Around the world today, there are grandparents praying for their grandchildren. There are mothers in their prayer closets praying for wayward sons. There are fathers sitting up late interceding for their daughters. Somewhere at six o'clock in the morning, there are a handful of people on their knees in a church classroom praying for their community, their city, their nation, their world. This book is an invitation to Christians who want to engage in work that is dear to the heart of God--praying for others. Christians have a heavenly assignment to intercede. We stand in the gap between heaven and earth, offering up intercessory prayers for our brothers and sisters in Christ, for those in our families, and for those outside the household of faith. This book aims to show you just how to do that. In eight powerful chapters, we take an in-depth look at the prayer life of the Prophet Daniel and how he did not neglect the strong urging, need, and leading to intercede for his people, the children of Israel. You will learn what it means to be an intercessor, how to prepare for intercessory prayer, how to be an effective intercessor, how to intercede for the church, and much more. The Prophet Samuel told the Israelites, "Far be it from me to sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you." Likewise, we should regard it as sin if we do not engage in intercessory prayer. God is looking for intercessors. He is looking for people to stand in the gap. He is looking for people who will pray and seek His face, not only for themselves, but for others. This book will equip you to be that person.
