TOPIC OF JOYCE MEYER DEVOTIONAL FOR TUESDAY 20TH AUGUST IS “GOD CHANGES PEOPLE THROUGH PRAYER”.
BIBLE TEXT: 1 Timothy 2:1 (AMP)
First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people.
JOYCE MEYER DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
In Exodus 32, Moses interceded for the children of Israel so that the wrath of God would not destroy them. It’s a stirring example that depicts how sincere prayer can change situations.
There are times when I find myself being led to pray for God to be merciful to a person, or to continue working with them and making the changes in them that are needed.
As Jesus told His disciples at Gethsemane, we can “watch and pray” (Matthew 26:41). We have the opportunity to pray for one another, not judge and criticize each other. God allows us to discern people’s needs in order to be part of the answer, not part of the problem. Remember we are not the potter. God is, and we certainly don’t know how to “fix” people. We cannot change people, but we can pray and watch Him work.

When people are hurting, even from their own poor choices, they often are blinded to the truth. We can pray for their eyes to be opened and for them to truly see the truth so it will set them free. People who are hurting need God to intervene in their lives, but if they don’t know how to call on Him, we can stand in the gap between them and God as intercessors and see breakthroughs as we pray. We can do the praying and let God do the work.
Prayer Starter:
Thank You, Lord, that You hear our prayers. Please help me to be sensitive to the needs of others and faithful to pray on their behalf. Use me as a tool help others grow and change. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
