Personal Prayer
Praise God for confiding in those who love him (Ps. 25:14). Give thanks for this developing relationship God has established with you. Confess those times when you have refused to share intimately with God. Commit yourself to seeking his companionship daily. Ask God to create within you a desire for intimacy, total honesty, acceptance, and joy in his presence.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that God will bring fulfillment to those who are suffering from the pain of unfulfilled dreams.
For the Church
Pray that true intimacy will be demonstrated by the children of God in a way that is appealing and attractive to unbelievers who are observing.
For the Kingdom
Pray that those who have suffered sexual, emotional, and/or physical abuse will be helped to understand and experience intimacy.
For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to give you the opportunity and courage to befriend a person seeking a meaningful friendship. Ask that Jesus will be the center of your relationship.
