Personal Prayer

Shout Hallelujah! to the Lord God Almighty. Praise God for his power and ­glory. Thank him for salvation (Rev. 19:1). Confess how rarely in recent days you have meditated on God’s wisdom and strength. Commit yourself to thinking more about what you can do for God, rather than what God can do for you. Ask for a ­renewed sense of awe about God’s character, for a greater hunger to know him.

For Your Family and Friends

Pray for family members or friends who hold God at arm’s length. Plead for personal peace and joy in Christ, so they will want what you have.

For the Church

Pray that your worship leaders will be sensitive to those with unusual personalities or special needs. Many parts form Christ’s body (1 Cor. 12:12-31).

For the Kingdom

Pray that Christians will be willing to ­examine and change even time-honored forms of worship–if such changes will draw unbelievers to the gospel.

For the Unsaved

Pray that unsaved people who feel ­empty will find salvation and fulfilling worship.
