Standing in the Gap
“And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.”
Ezekiel 22:30 (ESV)
God was not looking for strength, influence, or perfection—He was looking for someone willing to stand in the gap. In a moment of national crisis, the Lord searched for an intercessor, someone who would pray, contend, and plead for mercy on behalf of the land.
This verse reveals the power and responsibility of prayer. Intercession matters. When we pray, we step into the space between heaven and earth, asking God’s mercy, truth, and purposes to prevail. God invites His people to partner with Him, interceding for His will here on earth, building spiritual walls through prayers offered in faith.
The need has not changed. Our families, churches, cities, and nation still need men and women who will stand in the breach—who will pray when others remain silent, who will contend when the walls seem broken down.
Today, God is still looking—not for the perfect, but for the willing. Will we be the ones who respond?
Pray this prayer with me…
Lord, here I am. Send me. Teach me to stand in the gap through prayer. Give me Your heart for my family, my church, and my land. Strengthen me by your grace to build up the wall and intercede with faith and perseverance. Use my prayers to bring healing, mercy, and restoration. Amen.
