Personal Prayer
Praise God as your Sovereign Lord (Ezek. 2:5). Give thanks for the true prophets God has placed in your life (2:3). Confess times when you have spent more time critiquing the Lord’s spokespersons than listening to his Word through them. Commit to listening to the Word he gives you today. Ask God to help you respond appropriately to what he says.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that the children have hearts open to God’s Word from their earliest years. Ask God to help them keep their ways pure by living according to his Word (Ps. 119:9).

For the Church
Pray that your pastor will present God’s message courageously, whether it is accepted or not (Ezek. 2:3-7). Ask God to help all your church’s leaders to consistently follow God’s Word themselves (2:8).

For the Kingdom
Pray that the civil leaders of your country and community will humbly submit to God’s ways. Ask God to use you in clearly and sensitively speaking out to dissuade fellow citizens from evil (3:16-21).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray to be empowered and emboldened to speak to the unsaved so that you will not be guilty of their blood (3:18-19). Ask God to make your words and lifestyle effective.
