•Immerse yourself in service and witness.
•Nurture friendships in other cultures.
•Learn about others’ life situations.
•Imagine . . . Jesus, loves ones, yourself in the place of the one you are praying for.
•Embrace the struggles.
•
--Embrace the struggles of learning to intercede as a necessary part of your own discipleship.  Again, prayer is work.  Sometimes, we just have to keep at it.

But as we do all of these things, more and more, we will know the heart of God; we will see through the eyes of our Savior, and we will be moved to act, to be part of God’s kingdom coming on earth, in Bristol . . . in our families . . . and in our hearts . . . as it is in heaven.

So why don’t we spend some time in prayer . . .
