- to hit the mark (of one discharging a javelin or arrow),to reach, fall out, of he who meets one or presents himself unsought
- I find this helpful when put together with the positive examples of Holy Spirit and Jesus hitting the mark of accord with the heart of the Father in their intercessions
- For our intercessions, we look in. We listen to the voice of God as God reveals to us through the Spirit and the Word, God’s heart for everyone.

- We cannot trust our own heart of flesh/stone in intercession.
- We must listen, surrender, and allow God to reveal His heart for our hearts, thus for others
