Personal Prayer
Praise “Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.” Thank him for his willingness to leave his heavenly home to live among sinners. Confess any way in which you have been unwilling to sacrifice in order to come alongside those in need. Commit yourself to having the attitude of Jesus (Phil. 2:5-11). Ask God to give you that selfless love.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that you will consistently bring the presence of Jesus to those with whom you live. Ask Jesus to help you focus more on loving than on being loved.

For the Church
Pray that your local church will be known as a group where one can readily sense the presence, as well as the truths, of Jesus Christ. Ask Jesus to especially shine through your church’s leaders.

For the Kingdom
Pray that the presence of Christ in his people will be a “salting” and “lighting” influence throughout the earth. Ask God to maintain full integrity in national and international media ministries.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that the presence of Jesus through you will effectively draw an unsaved neighbor to him. Ask God to give you the right actions, words, and love in your community.
