Personal Prayer
Praise God for his faithfulness in calling you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 1:9). Thank God for the privilege of being his adopted child. Confess those times when you’ve foolishly acted like an orphan rather than as one of God’s own children. Commit yourself to strengthening the fellowship you enjoy with Christ and with other Christians. Ask God to reveal to you anything that might hinder your fellowship with Christ.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for a close and loving bond to grow between the members of your immediate family. Ask that this bond will be rooted only in Christ Jesus.

For the Church
Ask that the truth of Jesus’ promise to be present “where two or three come together in my name” will be very evident in your congregational worship. Pray for the outpouring of God’s Spirit in your prayers and praise.

For the Kingdom
Ask God to thwart Satan’s efforts to build barriers between Christians, especially believers from differing ethnic backgrounds. Pray for a spirit of love and respect for brothers and sisters of all ethnic backgrounds. Thank God for such a colorful mosaic of believers in his church worldwide!

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to draw more and more people from all cultures into his fellowship.
