Intercessors,
Many of us pray for different things. Some of our prayers may be for dreams the Lord has given us. Yet it seems that even after all we have done or prayed, we come to a dead end. It seems like the Lord wants us just to keep our eyes on Him, and somehow keep the door open to His working no matter how long it takes (closing those doors can allow discouragement to enter)
In a way our dreams may relate to the dreams that Joseph had, which when he was in prison in Egypt, seemed dead. He was in a prison for a considerable time. His dream probably seemed dead to him.
Our Savior too, on the Cross, just before He died, came to the point that he was completely emptied, having done all that He came to do, the only thing left He could was to commit Himself into the Hands of God. He did just that before He died. That was not the end. He rose again from the dead and provided for us a way to be with Him when we die.
Take a moment and share with us your thoughts on the following reflection questions. They can help encourage someone else, or even encourage others to come alongside of you in prayer and intercession.
***God can bring the dreams that He has given to us to reality. Perhaps some of you might share your thoughts on this, and also relate how God has helped you with dreams He has given you.
***How do these dreams relate to intercession?
***Have any of you experienced seeing what has happened when intercessors come alongside of others--especially when that person is discouraged and their dreams seem dead?

I have had people come alongside of me with encouragement--Their encouragement has kept a dream that the Lord has given me alive, and often that encouragement has provided opportunity to move forward. That helps me serve Our God and I am thankful for their help and encouragement.
There are other dreams that I have where the Lord is helping me to learn to depend on Him, and seek Him, and His timing.
