5 minutes Identify three people or groups they will intentionally pray for during the coming week. My Intercession Assignment Use this activity during the session to organize your prayer focus. 1. Someone I know Pray for their faith, wisdom, strength, and spiritual growth. 2. A church or ministry Pray for unity, holiness, discernment, and faithfulness. 3. A community or group Pray for compassion, justice, peace, and openness to the gospel. Reflection Questions: 1. Am I praying for others out of love or out of a desire to control their decisions? 2. Are my prayers focused only on immediate needs, or do I also pray for spiritual maturity? 3. Who might God be prompting me to remember regularly in prayer? Activation Exercise: Choose one person from their list and pray using the pattern found in John 17: - Protection: Father, guard them from evil and strengthen them in times of testing. - Sanctification: Lead them into truth and continue Your transforming work in their lives. - Unity: Help them walk in love, humility, and peace with others. - Faithfulness: Give them grace to remain steadfast in their relationship with You. Remind participants that intercession does not require knowing every detail of someone's life. We can pray faithfully while respecting their privacy and trusting God's knowledge of their needs.
