Your Prayer Counts Before God

Is your voice heard in heaven concerning corporate issues? Many Christians spend 99% of their time praying for themselves and their immediate family members, leaving corporate issues like prayers for their community, church and nation. Sometimes, they genuinely think that their prayers will not make a difference or that somebody else is praying, but is that truly the case? This post emphasizes the need for you to pray corporate prayers too, your prayer counts before God.

So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one – Ezekiel 22:30 (NKJV).

"And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace – Jeremiah 29:7 (NKJV).

Your prayer can move mountains (Mark 11:23), turn bad situations around for good. Your voice can save a nation (Ezekiel 22:30), are you using it? When things are going wrong, responsible actions are needed. One such responsible action is prayer. Prayer changes things, but who should pray? You and I! A call to pray is for every Christian, not just for the apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and the pastors.  Our Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 6:5, “when you pray” and not “if you pray”. Prayer is not optional for Christians. We are to pray for God’s kingdom to come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
