“Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16b NIV)
I earnestly believe that intercessory prayer surrounds the person with the love of God in a special way. Through prayer we do not so much manipulate God to do our will as we become surrendered instruments through whom God's love can move to those who are dear to us.
We usually think of prayer as a means whereby we reach another person through God. But I am suggesting that prayer is a way in which God can flow through us to that other person.
We can all be sending agents for the love of God. I am convinced that in prayer we become channels through whom the passionate love of God flows and engulfs other persons.
The more we pray, the more channels there are for the infinite love of our Lord to flow to, surround, and invade the person we hold up in prayer.
