Personal Prayer
Praise God for his controlling presence everywhere. Give thanks that no circumstance in life—even death itself—is beyond his loving control. Confess your desire to act according to your own timetable rather than God’s. Commit yourself to drawing closer to God in every way and waiting patiently for him. Ask for the ability to live by faith and not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7).

For Your Family and Friends
Request that a hedge of protection be placed around each family member and friend to fend off the enemy’s attacks.

For the Church
Ask that members will have the humility and gentleness to consider others better than themselves. Pray that believers will not only look out for their own interests, but also for the interests of others (Phil. 2:3-4).

For the Kingdom
Ask God to bless the training of Christian workers who desire to take the gospel into cultures which are unlike their own. Pray that the Spirit will remove any doubt or fear from them and their families as they prepare to serve as mission workers.

For People to Know Jesus
Name the name of one unsaved person whom you know. Ask God to bring that person to salvation. Pray that you may be used to lead that person to Jesus and then commit yourself to obedience.
