Personal Prayer
Worship God with reverence and awe as a consuming fire blazing with holiness (Heb. 12:28-29). Give thanks for his plan to refine your faith through trials and tests (Jas. 1:2-4). Confess any times this week when you have not seen God’s purpose for you in these trials (Mal. 3:2-4). Commit yourself to submitting to God’s testing in your life. Ask God to strengthen you with his power (Eph. 6:10-11).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for those who are undergoing severe testing, that God may show them his purpose and strengthen them in their weakness (Heb. 12:7-13).

For the Church
Pray for those who work in your church’s outreach programs, that they may help unsaved people to see God’s love and purposes through the trials they face in their lives.

For the Kingdom
Pray that Christians in leadership positions around the world will not fall under testing but be strengthened. Their witness is crucial!

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that God will lead you to pray this week with an unsaved person who struggles with trials in his or her life.
