Intercession
Our Holy Occupation
“Prayer is…. our business, our only business. Prayer is our holy
occupation. Plain and simple.” Oswald Chambers*
It is through the Holy Spirit’s power
We come to God in prayer,
And trusting in His love and grace,
The concerns and burdens of others we share.

And as we intercede in faith,
For their knowledge of Him to increase,
The Spirit works in unseen ways
Prompting conviction, repentance, and peace.
For we know that He, alone, can change,
A heart once in bondage to sin,
And bring newfound freedom, peace, and joy
Through the birth of Christ’s life from within.
And it is through intercession that we become,
A tool through which God’s grace and love
Will draw others in need to His saving power
Securing their soul security in heaven above.
