We pray in expectant intercession for others, and when God has answered our prayers for them, we should thank the Lord in prayer, and celebration, just as intensely as we first prayed for His help, His goodness, and for His mercy. Answered prayer, whether for ourselves, or others, is meant to serve God’s will, and to glorify Him. Are we as diligent in giving Him thanks as we once were in asking for His help? Do all of the intercessors give thanks as one… glorifying Him for all to see, and giving each witness the opportunity to join in the blessing by saying Amen?
