Episode 409: Standing in the Gap

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Standing in the Gap

You looked for someone to build a wall and stand in the gap for you. 

When there was no one else to intercede, your own arm brought salvation. Your righteousness upheld us. 

Just as Moses stood in the gap for the Children of Israel, I stand in the gap for family and friends, for my community and for my country. 

I pray to you, Father, in the name of Jesus, knowing that the fervent prayer of a righteous person has great power. 

I make supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving for all people. I pray for our leaders and those in high positions so that I may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and I know it pleases you, Father. Your greatest desire is that all people be saved and come to the knowledge of your truth. There is one God, and there is one mediator between you and men, the man Christ Jesus.
 
I raise up the foundations for future generations. I am a repairer of the breach, and restorer of streets to dwell in.  

You have given me the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever I bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever I loose on earth is loosed in heaven. 

So today, I come to you in prayer. I stand in the gap for those in a crisis situation who need someone to stand with them. 

I pray for those who are living lives in opposition to your word, Father, through lifestyle, pride or rebellion.

I pray for my community, for the schools, churches and workplaces where daily battles are waged between good and evil.

I pray for those who suffer unjust circumstances and laws and corrupt governments.

I pray for those who don't believe in you, or are angry at you, that they might come to know you and your unfailing mercy and love.

I pray against cultural and social conditions that are corrupt, evil or destructive.

I pray for the weak, the sick, the depressed and the oppressed who cannot pray for themselves.

I pray for those going through the stress of a major life crises who need your strength to see them through.

I pray that your will experienced here on earth as it is in heaven.

When you need someone to stand in the gap, here I am, Father. Send me. 

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
