"Prayer remains one of the great and glorious mysteries of the universe—that the all-knowing, all-wise, all-sovereign God should ordain to run his world in response to our prayers is mind-boggling. But that is the uniform witness of Scripture. God hears and answers the prayers of his people. O do not neglect this amazing way of influencing nations and movements and institutions and churches and people’s hearts, especially your own."

This is a neat little article that gives a refreshing list of Biblical things to pray for that go beyond ourselves and encompass the "bigger picture" of life. I definitely recommend giving it a look! :)

John Piper is pretty intense eh? And very thought-provoking -- or that's what I find anyway. D
Good quote, Theresa. Thanks for sharing!
