1 INTRODUCTION Jesus compared the Kingdom of God to a treasure found buried in a field. The imagery here is of a treasure worth giving your life to. The treasure Jesus is talking about is an intimate relationship with God. Jesus tells us that we can have the same relationship with God the Father that He has. We can think of no greater treasure! Prayer is a critical part of developing that intimate relationship with God. He wants to listen to your prayers, and wants to respond to them. God is very involved in your everyday life. He gives you every breath you breathe. He is the one who provides for your every need. It only makes sense to pray to Him about the issues you are facing. There is another aspect of prayer that is powerful and cannot be overlooked. God is advancing His kingdom on the earth. He is constantly moving in your life, in your friends and loved ones’ lives, and in the world around you. God wants you to join Him in this great work. One way you can join Him is by praying or interceding. When we intercede, we are connecting with God’s activity. We then see God move in response to our prayers. Prayers are answered, our world is impacted and changed, and our faith and trust in God grows. Intercession has the ability to impact our world and our relationship with God at the same time. However you use this journal, our desire is to see you enter into a more powerful, more intimate relationship with God through prayer and intercession. It is time to believe BIG!
