Paul urges us in scripture “that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2) These are worship songs & hymns that encompass the theme of intercession.

Jesus understands and says, “Come to me, weary and heavy-laden. And I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28. Notice Jesus doesn't say, “Come to me strong, cheerful, without worries.” Jesus said the opposite. We're invited to come to Him weary—whether confused, numb, anxious, angry, stuck, or stressed. Jesus tells us to simply come. Imperfectly His. As we are.
