Personal Prayer
Praise God as the sovereign Lord (Ezek. 17:22-24) who deserves the praise of all the people-groups of the world! Thank him for making himself known to you. Confess any smallness of your vision of God and his mission in this world. Commit yourself to a world-sized vision. Ask him to show you some specific way to serve him.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that someone you love will be led by God to be an “on the scene” world missionary. Ask God to thoroughly prepare that person from an early age.
For the Church
Pray that the church will become a “splendid cedar” in which “birds of every kind will nest” (17:23). Ask God to provide through the church an abundance of wisdom, personnel, and financial resources for entering open doors for mission.
For the Kingdom
Pray that the kingdom of the world will soon become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ (Rev. 11:15). Ask God to prompt you to pray regularly for his reign to spread.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray for international students on the campuses of your country. Ask God to reach many of them so that they will go back to their homelands as his ambassadors.
