Personal Prayer
Praise God, whose mind and imagination created the stars, the earth, and the life of all creatures. Give thanks for the reaches of God’s knowledge, which far exceeds the limits of the human mind. Confess the times in this past week when you have leaned on your own understanding and not followed the teachings of the Lord (Hos. 14:9). Commit yourself to studying the Bible regularly to learn what God has to teach you. Ask the Lord to make his Word as sweet as honey (Ps. 19:10).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for young adults and their parents, that the teaching of the Lord may be a living faith passed down from parent to child.

For the Church
Pray for each of your church education teachers, that they may be powerful examples by their words and behavior and may be aware of their great responsibility (Jas. 3:1).

For the Kingdom
Pray for the writers and editors of your church’s education materials and those who train others to use them, that they may present God’s teachings in a fresh way and inspire church education teachers to model their faith effectively in the classroom.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that the Christian reading materials developed for adult beginning readers—the illiterate, refugees, immigrants, and others—may reach their hearts with the gospel.
