Intercessory Prayer

In this powerful exploration of Genesis 18, we delve into the transformative nature of intercessory prayer. The story of Abraham pleading with God for Sodom and Gomorrah teaches us that true spirituality isn't just about personal blessings, but about engaging with God's mission in the world. We're challenged to leverage our relationship with God on behalf of others, standing in the gap for those who may not even realize they need prayer. This passage reveals the delicate balance between God's justice and mercy, ultimately pointing us to the gospel - where Jesus, the one truly righteous person, became our intercessor. As we grasp this truth, it should reshape how we view our relationship with God, our perception of the world's brokenness, and inspire us to bring bold requests before our King. Are we ready to move beyond self-focused prayers and embrace our role as priests in this broken world?
