Personal Prayer
Praise God that he is absolutely holy; that there is no sin in him at all. Thank him for making you holy through the blood of Jesus Christ. Confess any known sin that is contrary to God’s will. Commit to his lordship in every area of life. Ask that in all you are facing, your faithful God will “not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear,” but will always “provide a way out so that you can stand up under it” (1 Cor. 10:13).
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that families and friends experiencing financial problems will be strengthened in faith as they look to God for their “daily bread.” Pray that they will seek his blessing and guidance in vocational and financial choices.
For the Church
Pray that children and young people of your church will commit their lives to Jesus Christ, make public profession of faith, and become fruitful members of the kingdom.
For the Kingdom
Pray for Christian schools and colleges, for wise board members, for supportive parents, and godly teachers. Ask God to help the church fulfill its duty of caring for and nurturing its children.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray that your Christian example may encourage others to seek the Lord. Ask that you will “always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Pet. 3:15).
