“God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints.” PeopleWorldWayWholeUseSpiritPurposeCertainOpportunityPrayerConditionsCircumstancesEverydaySaintAccomplishWhole WorldTrust In GodProvidenceThronesDefiniteCommitment To GodConfidence In GodIntimacy With GodPeople In Your LifeServant Of GodIntercessionGod Has A PlanInstruments Of GodIntercessory Prayer Book:Utmost: Classic Readings and Prayers from Oswald Chambers Source: Utmost: Classic Readings and Prayers from Oswald Chambers

“God allows us to dace difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer.” WayNeedsFacesFaithOpportunityWinningReligiousPrayerBattleDifficultyTrialsOne WayExcellentDependenceRefinedDiscouragementHumblingDependence On God Author:Charles Stanley
