Intercessory prayer

Intercessory prayer is the act of asking on behalf of others—petitioning for their healing, protection, or flourishing—rooted in the conviction that compassionate attention and speech matter, even when outcomes remain uncertain. It transforms the one praying as much as it works on behalf of those named, deepening responsibility and connection.
