Personal Prayer
Praise God, who is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46). Give thanks for his “ever present help in trouble” (v. 1). Confess any desire to live life apart from God. Commit yourself to being still and knowing that he is God. Ask him to prosper you and not harm you, to give you hope and a future (Jer. 29:11).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that children and young people will choose godly companions and be protected from those who would lead them astray or wrongly influence their thinking.

For the Church
Pray that your pastor may have a fruitful ministry and that he may handle responsibilities with grace and patience. Ask that he may have a harmonious working relationship with other congregational leaders.

For the Kingdom
Pray for governments to do public justice and to protect the freedoms and rights of individuals, groups, and institutions.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that you may “let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” (Mt. 5:16). Offer to be used of God to reach certain individuals.
