Personal Prayer
Praise God, who is a refuge for the poor and needy (Isa.25:4). Thank him for caring about those who are in desperate circumstances. Confess times when you have not shown compassion to the needy. Commit yourself to serving others in new and stretching ways. Ask God to provide those opportunities for you.
For Your Family and Friends
Thank God for being a shelter from the storm for your family (25:4). Pray that teens will seek that shelter rather than taking refuge in the world.
For the Church
Ask God to anoint the fellowship in your congregation with the Holy Spirit. Pray that any friction between members will be addressed and healed. Pray that newcomers will find a refuge in your congregation.
For the Kingdom
Intercede for ministries which bring Christ’s compassion to the poor and needy throughout the world. Ask that their needs will be met as they bring hope to thousands.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray that one unsaved person you know will see and desire the shelter which Jesus offers. Ask that God will use you to guide that person into eternal safety.
