God has blessed me when I’ve prayed for my unsaved children. I pray that He keeps them from all hurt, harm, and danger. I have been blessed that I have not received any emergency phone calls during the night giving me bad news, unlike so many of my friends.

When We Pray for Others, We Learn to Trust God. When we offer intercessory prayers, asking God on behalf of loved ones, friends, or strangers, we trust His ability to answer, and He does. Each time we pray to God for others, we learn to trust Him more.

The greatest example i can give is when i prayed for my Dad who was diagnosed with cancer. I prayed so hard and with so much passion for days and 7 days after he was told his cancer had come back I was amazed when he was told by the doctors his cancer had not come back even though the first tests said it had. The only thing that happened between the diagnosis and being told he was clear was my daily passionate prayer to God. I felt so happy but I felt it shouldn’t be something I told people about – my church leaders have cleared up my understanding about sharing stories of healing so I happy to do that now but I think this was the greatest feeling I have ever experienced.
