Postures of Prayer – Intercession

The final installment of the Postures of Prayer series explores Intercession, the act of coming alongside others in prayer, even when they are far away. Rev. Roger Schlechte unpacks the petitions "Thy kingdom come" and "Thy will be done" from the Lord’s Prayer, focusing on Matthew 6:9-13. He explores how praying for others embodies care, compassion, and the desire to see God’s kingdom grow on earth as in heaven. With examples from Scripture like Abraham’s plea for Sodom (Genesis 18:22-33) and Paul’s encouragement to pray for leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-8), Rev. Schlechte challenges us to intercede for those in need, trusting God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Listen now to be inspired by the power of intercessory prayer and its role in reflecting God’s love to the world!
