Personal Prayer
Praise God as the all-knowing one. Thank God for caring enough for you to teach you his ways and warn you when you stray. Confess times of willful ignorance of his ways. Commit to listening and following God’s directions. Ask him to provide faithful teachers and examples for you.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that you will be diligent in teaching those under your care. Ask God to help you be an excellent model for your children (or for the children of your friends).
For the Church
Pray that the teachers of the church will be “watchmen” who faithfully relay God’s Word to his people (Ezekiel 33). Ask God to prompt them to diligence.
For the Kingdom
Pray that believers will speak boldly to their countrymen about the essential nature of righteous living (Ezek. 33:12-20). Ask God to soften their hearts to hear, repent, and follow him.
For People to Know Jesus
Thank God that he does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked. Pray for him to work powerfully through you to call people to turn from the foolish ways leading to death to the life-producing ways of his wisdom (33:11).
