Intercession (praying for others) is an essential element in God's redeeming purpose, so much so, that without it the failure of God's purpose may lie at our door. Christ's intercession in Heaven is essential to His carrying out of the work He began upon earth, but He calls for the intercession of the saints in the accomplishment of His object.
-- Andrew Murray
Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
-- Romans 8:34 (NLT)
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. -- Ephesians 6:18 (NLT)
Let us cry out to the Lord and let us cry out with the Lord -- both day and night -- partnering with Him in praying passionate and persistent prayers of compassionate intercession.
Deo Volente -- AS GOD WILLS!
Grateful

A fine quote from Andrew Murray!
The most perfect picture of intercession is the cross. It’s where Jesus petitioned the Father (our Judge) on our behalf for the forgiveness of our sins, and it was granted because the payment of His blood was rendered and accepted.
Father, I’m humbled that You would entrust me with Your heart for others. Please quicken my spirit to know the assignments You’re giving me, the strength and tenacity to pray them through, and the wisdom and revelation of the Spirit to pray Your heart so Your will can be accomplished on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Amen and Amen again.
