Personal Prayer
Praise God for his abundant mercy. Thank him for not punishing you as your sins have deserved (Ezra 9:13). Confess any secret sins which hold you back from full fellowship with God. Commit yourself to turning away from sin by the power of the Holy Spirit and living completely for God’s glory. Ask God to restore the joy of his salvation and to grant you a willing spirit (Ps. 51:12).

For Your Family and Friends
Ask that your family and friends will hunger and thirst for God, walk closely with him always, and take time for prayer and Bible reading.

For the Church
Ask God to inspire teachers and group leaders as they prepare Bible lessons this week. Pray that they will be able to communicate clearly and faithfully.

For the Kingdom
Pray for your elected and appointed public servants. Ask that they will initiate and enact laws based on godly principles (Prov. 14:34).

For People to Know Jesus
Ask the Lord to create a hunger and thirst for him and his Word in the lives of unsaved persons you know. Pray that you will be sensitive to their struggles and questions.
