How to Pray for Someone When You Don't Know What to Pray

Have you ever wanted to pray for someone you love but didn't know what to say? In this Bible study, we're talking about intercessory prayer—praying to God on behalf of someone else. But I don't want to stop at simply defining intercession. We're going into Scripture to see what intercessory prayer actually looks like and how you can begin praying God's Word over the people He has placed on your heart. In this study, we'll look at how Jesus intercedes for us, how the Holy Spirit intercedes for God's people, Nehemiah's powerful prayer on behalf of Israel, and Paul's prayer in Colossians. Then I'll show you a practical way to take Scripture and turn it into a personal prayer for a family member, friend, loved one, or anyone God has placed on your heart. 📖 SCRIPTURES IN THIS BIBLE STUDY: Hebrews 7:23, 25 Romans 8:26–27 James 5:16 Nehemiah 1:4–11 Colossians 1:9–14 My prayer is that by the end of this study, you won't only understand what intercessory prayer is—you'll feel more confident opening your Bible, placing someone's name before God, and praying according to His Word and His will.
