Here is a thought, --presented in a way that I usually use on Encouraging Prayer, but I believe it is one that can help us as intercessors. The Subject is Joining Together and the scriptures are Matthew 18:19, Hebrews 3:13. This was written as a 'Prayer Minute', which I have attached to this discussion. The text of the 'Prayer Minute' is below, long with reflection questions.
It is a subject the Lord has been encouraging me to develop a 'Prayer Minute' on. So often we stand alone, but we need each other to stand firm in the trial that may come our way.
Joining together, in prayer can accomplish much. Christ taught on that subject in Matthew 18: 19, and in Hebrews 3:13 we have the encouragement to encourage one another daily.

PM#0538 Joining Together
Joining together and praying together go together. Consider how the great redwood trees are able to grow 350 ft tall. They do not stand alone. They grow in groves and their roots are intertwined and sometimes fused together. That gives them tremendous strength against high winds and floods.
Praying alone is needed, but joining together, encouraging one another, and supporting each other can help us stand firm in the storms of life.
Consider this prayer. Father, help me to join with others in prayer, and also encourage them. In Jesus, Name, Amen.
