Personal Prayer
Praise the God who knows the depths of your heart and sees all the secret places there. Give thanks that he hears the prayers of many people all over the earth and listens to all of our cries for help. Confess to God the days in this past week when you have not made sufficient time for prayer for yourself and others. Commit yourself to remembering his deep love for you and all people, and ask the Spirit to make that awareness grow into a habit of praying without ceasing “on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests” (Eph. 6:18).

For Your Family and Friends
Ask God to cause the parents you know to pray daily for their children, relying on God’s protection and saving grace in their lives.

For the Church
Lift up to God the names of the world missionaries your church supports, asking that their specific needs for this day may be met.

For the Kingdom
Pray for the governments of countries in war or civil strife, that they may protect the missionaries and other Christians who are working for Christ within their borders.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to hear and answer the prayers of the unsaved, “so that all peoples of the earth may know [his] name and fear [him]” (1 Ki. 8:43). as a God who listens and responds.
