God created men and women in His image. We have been fearfully and wonderfully made with amazing uniqueness and abilities. But none of us were designed to run without God.

Jesus prayed (and is praying now) without ceasing. While on the earth, He was in constant communion with the Father. As He came to the end of His life, the Bible records one of His final and most important moments of intercession.

There is nothing more thrilling than seeing lives changed. When we are involved through our intercession, it spurs us to increase our “bringing.” For the believer, these two acts—prayer and bringing—are the most significant things we can do with our lives.
