Job 42:10 (NKJV)
And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

in·ter·cede [in-ter-seed] –verb (used without object), -ced·ed, -ced·ing.
1. to act or interpose in behalf of someone in difficulty or trouble, as by pleading or petition: to intercede with the governor for a condemned man.
2. to attempt to reconcile differences between two people or groups; mediate.
3. Roman History. (of a tribune or other magistrate) to interpose a veto.
Our Heavenly Father desires to express Himself through us here on earth. He does find expression through us when we lend a helping hand to others, visit those in prison, help widows and orphans and in many other ways.
Often, we are occupied with our desires when we seek His face, yet God seeks to express Himself through us in the place of prayer. We have friends going through challenging times needing encouragement, some desire God’s intervention in their situation, others a complete turn around as one in captivity.
If only we could learn to be still in His presence and let Him bring up those people in our hearts and pray through us for them, just like Job did, who knows, our losses could be restored? It is quite a rewarding experience to share in the ministry of Jesus, who ever lives to make intercession for us! Hebrews 7:25 (NKJV)
