it's time to intercede!!

i'm pulled back to reality.. besides just knowing, which i've known and has been reminded, since that time i prayed at bishan with ed. Now, the conviction is stronger, to do more, to be serious, to be committed..

It's time to intercede.

There's a need to pray. There's a desperate need to intercede.

People out there are being attacked, be it physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually; through relationships/friendships/family; people are feeling torned, desperate, broken, fear... the devil is at work...

IT'S TIME FOR WAR!!!!

to touch my loved ones, my family, my friends, my peers, even if it's friends i've just made this year..

Satan, you've pushed it.

I'm warring, on God's side, against you satan, for my friends, for my loved ones.

THIS IS WAR!!

Lord, grant me the strength, grant me the wisdom and let your Spirit guide me in praying for them, in interceding for them. i sense and see the hurt, the despair, the struggles behind those smiles. Lord, i may not be able to see and understand what they're going through... but you know. Pick them up and embrace them. Protect them. Grant them wisdom, peace. Lord, you know i love them, and they are people who are close to my heart. And Lord, i know that you love them, much much more than i do. Show them your love. Help them to be comforted in your presence. Grant me perseverance to keep interceding, to be committed and not let the prayers fade off with time. Grant me your strength to intercede even when i have to deal with unsettled matters between me and you, especially when there seems to be a high tendency of me going into numbing mode for fear of confrontation, that is so needed and necessary. I commit my friends whom i care so much for, and you care even much more for, into your hands. In Jesus name i pray, amen.
