Alfred Lord Tennyson only told half the truth when he wrote, "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of" The other half is this, more things are not handled in prayer than this world dreams of.
We live dangerously, leaving many important matters out of our prayers. Unanswered prayers are generally the ones that were never prayed. "Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive that your joy might be full." Interceding for the salvation of the nations, however receives immediate attention.
"Now this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him".
'God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. Let the people praise you, O God: let all the people praise you. Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For you shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations of the earth"
Right now my friend, pray this prayer of repentance and renewing of conviction.
"My heavenly Father I yearn to feel Your heart, to see what Your eyes see, to have greater compassion for the lost and dying of my world today. Forgive me when I have been careless or thoughtless, and neglected my daily intercession for the lost. Renew to me Your very fire of salvation - that gift which I have received and treasure - and rekindle in me a passion for souls that drives me to my knees. I know this is Your heart ...now make it mine. In the name of my Lord and Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen"
I know that the Holy Spirit has heard your heart-felt prayer today, and I know that he will answer speedily. ....Be come an intercessor today!
