Dear Intercessor, God hears you, TOO!
I say this because, whether you've gone through it already or will in the future (trust me, you will), there'll

be times and seasons when the Lord asks you to pray for the fulfillment of someone else's promise while you are still waiting for your own! In that moment, you might have a whole laundry list of personal prayer targets to hit and pray through...yet the Lord may say, "WAIT. Pray instead for this...", and it be on the behalf of another. And no, you may not understand the why, but I want to give you a bit more clarity on how your posture in that moment isn't wasted by God, but remembered by Him.
Just ask me how I know...WHEW.
On top of that, the Lord may even lead you to pray for someone else to receive the same or a similar blessing that He has promised to you...so don't question it!
PRAY ANYWAY.
Listen, we know that God works in the most mysterious ways. The Bible says in Isaiah 55:8-9, ”For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 'As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
This means that the Lords ways of getting you to your promise isn’t going to always be as “black and white” or even straightforward as you'd think or like. For example, instead of him having you pray, fast, and consecrate for the promise of the house, car, husband/wife, baby or ministry (these are the ones He just spoke), ABBA will have you interceding on the behalf of someone else’s promise and even praying for THEIR faith, that it would not fail in the midst of waiting (Luke 22:32) on yours/
WAIT WELL.
In this letter, the Lord wanted to remind his Intercessors that He has not forgotten about them or their personal requests. That even as you pray for others, He has not forgotten the promise He's made to you.
Please know this: just because we are tarry on behalf of another vision, doesn’t mean that ours are going un-wasted, nor is our seed of personal prayer going un-watered. One of the first lessons that my Spiritual Father taught me, was that as Intercessors, just because we prepare a laundry list of things to pray to God about that we want him to take care of right away, doesnt mean he'll allow us to pray for it right then and there.
As intercessors, our willingness to say yes includes being open to interruptions during our prayer time. It's crucial to remember that these interruptions are not meaningless, and God still listens to our prayers (1 John 5:14) and also has granted us a Chief Intercessor (Romans 8:34).
He prays on our behalf and manages things for us while we are interceding and intercepting the assignments of prayer and intercession that He has called us to.
So, Dear Intercessor, the Lord has not forgotten about you, AT ALL.
Matter of fact, you are ALWAYS on His mind, and in His prayers.
