Question: What is intercession?

Answer: Intercession is praying to God on behalf of a person, a group of people or even a nation. As Christians, we have the confidence to approach God and ask Him (Ephesians 3:12; Hebrews 4:16). For example, if we know of people who are sick or going through problems, we can ask God to heal or help them. We can also pray for unsaved relatives or friends by asking God to touch and bless them. If we read the newspaper, watch the news or even observe our surroundings, we see so many problems. As such, we can pray for our school, community or even nation.
