I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30 WEBWhen the Lord planned to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:24), Abraham stood in the gap and asked God if He would destroy it if there were fifty righteous men there. God said that He would not.
Then Abraham asked what if there were forty-five righteous people, forty, thirty, twenty, ten, and then he stopped. It appears that God would have kept going as long as He had someone to intercede for them. Abraham was the one that stopped at ten.
God seeks intercessors that will pray for the nation, and for each other. If you have someone who is lost, do not stop praying for them. Jesus told us 'No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day' (John 6:44). Pray for the Lord to draw their hearts to Him.
Remember also to pray for the nation that you live in. You live there, and if it prospers, you will prosper. 'Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in the peace of it shall you have peace' (Jeremiah 29:7).
If you know the Lord today, chances are that someone has stood in the gap for you already. Now your prayer could be the one thing that changes everything for someone else. God is still seeking those who will stand in the gap for others.
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for saving me, now please draw the rest of my family to You. May my whole family come to know and love you for all things are possible with You. Put the lost in my path and the words in my mouth, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.> You can subscribe to our daily devotional here <

Amen to the rayer. I knew a young man who lived across the street where I lived. One day came over & told how God told him he was going to be a Pastor. A little more about God. I was really more and more curious about God. Years went by and I met him again as a pastor. I had grown too. Thought he probably was praying for me.
Praise God! Thanks for this Pastor Todd! You be Blessed! Heavenly Father I thank You for saving me, now please draw the rest of my family to You. May my whole family come to know and love you for all things are possible with You. Put the lost in my path and the words in my mouth, in the Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
