Personal Prayer
Praise God for his great mercy. Thank God for forgiving you and bringing you back after failure and rebellion (Zech. 8:7-8). Confess times of presuming on his patience and mercy. Commit yourself to consistent obedience from a heart of gratitude for God’s forgiveness. Ask him to forgive your debts as you have forgiven your debtors, and to lead you not into temptation but to deliver you from evil.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your family will forgive one another for past sins, including abuse of any kind. Ask God to bring restoration and wholeness into your household and friendships.

For the Church
Pray that your church will have eyes to see those who need to be brought back into the fold after failure. Ask God’s Spirit to convince all to be sensitive and forgiving rather than judgmental and begrudging.

For the Kingdom
Pray that God will inspire you in all relationships and professional involvements to be a peacemaker and restorer. Ask him for the humble courage such work requires.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that the unsaved in your network of relationships will be won to the Prince of Peace by seeing fallen Christians restored. Ask God to show them his healing through the mending of your own life.
