Personal Prayer
Praise the Lord Jesus, who will be “revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels” (2 Thess. 1:7). Thank him that he will come to restore justice and righteousness in the earth. Confess the times when you have not lived in awareness of Christ’s coming again in power and judgment. Ask him to help you desire and look forward to his coming, and commit yourself to preparing yourself and others for “the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all who have believed” (1:10).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray daily for the salvation of any family members or close friends whose lives show that they do not truly believe that Christ is coming in power and judgment.

For the Church
Ask the Spirit to give the churches in your community a sense of urgency in bringing the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection to the unchurched and unbelieving in their neighborhoods.

For the Kingdom
Pray for the protection of Jesus’ blood and the power of his cross over all North American missionaries who are working to reclaim those blinded by New Age religion, by materialism, or by drugs or sex addiction.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to change the hearts of those who don’t love the truth, and to set them free from Satan’s lies.
