Standing in the Gap: Intercessory Prayer Explained

1-minute read Tuesday’s Verse, 3/18/25

 “I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one. So now I will pour out my fury on them, consuming them with the fire of my anger. I will heap on their heads the full penalty for all their sins. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!” Ezekiel 22:30-31 NLT

Commentary: This is a vivid way to show how a human intercessor appeals to a holy, angry God and convinces Him not to destroy His people but to extend mercy to them …. God is predisposed to show mercy, even when judgment is deserved. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)
