I stumbled upon some news today about the developments on the abduction cases of Ps Raymond and Amri Chet Mat (https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2019/04/476516/govt-open-new-investigation-disappearances-amri-che-mat-pastor-raymond).

I remember having a long prayer session about a week and a half ago. On my mind were so many of my own things to pray for, but whenever I launch into a serious prayer session I always start with praying for the governments of Malaysia, the USA and Taiwan, representing all the countries my family belongs to. And then I pray for all my immediate family members (on T's side and mine) individually. Next, I pray for those already on my prayer list. If there's time left I will list out my own concerns. That particular session last week focused a bit more on justice being carried out for Ps Raymond and the others that were abducted.
I'm a little surprised that there has been a development last week...so swiftly. Honestly, I'm wondering if praying had a part to play in this development at all. I guess I won't really know for sure but the incidents are close enough for me to feel like they are.
I'm sure many people have been praying for all these people. But I also know God might be trying to teach me something about prophetic and intercessory prayer, especially prayer that no one sees or hears but Him. Continue and see what happens?
