Pray For What?

Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar.  And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne.  The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out.  Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake. [Revelation 8.3-5]

I find it interesting that the terrible catastrophes that occur in Revelation's account of the seventh seal being opened seem to be related to the prayers of God's people!

Father, I want to pray effectively and according to Your plan and will.  Show me what that is!
