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.
So, what is Christ’s greatest desire for His followers, as expressed in His prayer? His prayer should give us a very practical for us to pray for ourselves and for those who know Him.

What is Jesus telling us to do? We should start asking and keep asking; start knocking and keep knocking; start seeking and keep seeking and start BELIEVING that God will give WHAT IS GOOD (i.e., what we really need) to those who pursue Him.

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. Jesus is the only Savior, but we can intercede for others and bring them to Christ.

The tool that God has given us to maintain intimacy with Him is prayer. Prayer is nothing less than the continual communication between two who love each other. If we know our need for Him (which is humility) and long for His direction and guidance, we will talk to Him about everything throughout the day.

In Daniel, Chapter 9, we read one of the great prayers of the Bible. Similar to Jeremiah’s prayer in Jeremiah 1, Daniel pours out his soul for his nation. His prayer is a mighty prayer for us to pray, word-for-word, as we cry out for our nation.
But does God hear his humble, repentant prayer? The next chapter reveals the response of our prayer-hearing and prayer-answering God.

Who has God placed in your life to intercede for them? Are their names on your heart? No one else may take up that responsibility. Are you entering the throne room on their behalf? And will you do it until you die, or they come to Christ?

Does God hear our cry for deliverance? Would He hear the cry of His church across America right now if we were shut up to Him? If we had tired of all of our best methods and machinery? If we realize that nothing else could save us as a nation?

It is said of Martin Luther that he dreamed he was transported to heaven and there noticed thousands of boxes with his name on them. When he asked the angel what they were, the angel replied, “These are answers to prayers that have never been asked.”
God has much more for us. He reminds us that “we have not because we ask not” (James 4:2).

I can see absolutely no political solution to the current state of our nation. We are one step away from civil war. (It's happened in every nation in history and is the way of the human heart without God. We should not be so proud to think it could not happen here.) In my humble, but Biblically fueled opinion, there is only one answer...
