Personal Prayer
Praise God that he is your stronghold in time of trouble (Ps. 9:9). Give thanks for God’s promise that when you call on him in the day of trouble, he will deliver you (Ps. 50:15). Confess your failure to glorify and honor God when he does give you deliverance. Commit yourself to keeping the vows you make when you are in trouble (Ps. 66:13-16). Ask God to bring you to your knees in every situation, not just when special trouble surrounds you (Psalm 116).

For Your Family and Friends
Ask God to use your testimony of his faithfulness in time of trouble to help your family grow in God’s love and see his purpose for their lives.

For the Church
Praise God for your church’s efforts in supporting world missions. Pray that missionaries who must raise their own support will be rewarded for their trust in God to supply all their needs.

For the Kingdom
Pray that all Christians will see God’s hand in trouble and trials knowing that “God . . . will pay back trouble to those who trouble you” (2 Thess. 1:6).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that God will use a victory you’ve experienced to be a means of salvation for an unsaved friend this week
