For Your Family and Friends
Pray for God’s mercy to be shown to any family member or friend in need. Ask the Lord to provide abundantly from his storehouses of grace.

For the Church
Ask God’s blessing on the educational programs of your church. Pray for each teacher and helper. Ask God to show you how you might be involved in the instruction of others.

For the Kingdom
Pray that the enemies of God will be put to shame throughout his kingdom. Ask that the forces of the evil one will be destroyed and that justice, righteousness, and peace might prevail on the earth.

For People to Know Jesus
