· An immature believer cannot understand
· Only a committed, Spirit-filled and maturing believer can understand
2. A Burdened Heart (“…my heart’s desire…”)
· Define a Burden: Romans 9:1-3
· Describe a Burden
· Defend a Burden
3. A Passionate Cry (“…my prayer to God…”)
· Driven to prayer through Passion
· Driven to prayer through Understanding
· Driven to prayer because of Faith
4. Standing In the Gap By Intercession (“…for them is for their salvation.”)

· A Relentless Prayer
· A Righteous Prayer
