Personal Prayer
Praise God for his compelling love (2 Cor. 5:14). Give thanks for that love that holds us as in a vice, never letting go (Jer. 31:3). Confess those times when you fight against God’s love, wanting to go your own way or seek glory for yourself instead of for him. Commit yourself to being comfortable in that “love grip” of God so that you willingly live for him, serving him gladly (Prov. 3:3-6). Ask God to give you a greater appreciation of his eternal blessings and to be glad with the joy of his presence (Ps. 21:6).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your family and friends will not be threatened by God’s compelling love but will rest secure in him as he shields them (Deut. 33:12).

For the Church
Pray that God’s unfailing love will satisfy every member of the church so that all may “sing for joy and be glad all our days” (Ps. 90:14).

For the Kingdom
Pray that God’s compelling love may keep believers from fear and lead them on in the daily work of ministry “in Jerusalem, and Judea . . . and to the ends of the earth” (Joel 2:21-27; Acts 1:8).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that this love will give you boldness in being a witness of your joy in the Lord by word and in deed to many this week.
