praying for others

intercession is an increase in my awareness. when i pray for another person, i am praying for God to open my eyes, so that i may see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person. it changes my attitude and relationship towards the person i'm praying for.

today, my CG came to my place at about 9 am for part two of the study on prayer. i thank God for all of them, because even though some lived in the east or in boon lay, they still made the effort to wake up early and come. i felt quite bad that CG was at my place! well we had a nice breakfast bought from the market, and chris shared about prayer with some help from philip yancey's new book "prayer: does it make any difference?" among other insightful things, the part about intercession spoke to me. i need to learn how to see people as God does. He loves them unconditionally, too.
