Personal Prayer
Praise God for his love (1 Jn. 4:16). Give thanks that “we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us” (1 Jn. 3:16). Confess those times when you fail to love others. Commit yourself to laying down your life for your brothers and sisters in Christ (3:16). Ask God to drive all fear away with perfect love (1 Jn. 4:18).

For Your Family and Friends
Give thanks to the Father for the family members and friends that he has given you, and ask him to help you love them deeply.

For the Church
Pray that your church will be seen as a valuable asset in your community, and that its love will be so real and apparent that non-Christians will seek it out.

For the Kingdom
Ask God to expose the foolishness and treachery of the kingdom of darkness. Pray that the forces of the kingdom of God, in politics, education, science, media, business, entertainment, church, etc., will be united and focused in their efforts.

For People to Know Jesus
“God is light; in him there is no darkness at all” (1 Jn. 1:5). Ask God to cause specific non-Christians you know to desire light instead of darkness.
