Personal Prayer
Praise God for the depth of the riches of his wisdom and knowledge (Rom. 11:33). Give thanks that “from him and through him and to him are all things” (11:36). Confess times of thinking that God owes you favors or explanations (11:35). Commit yourself to thinking deeply about God until you come to the end of your ability to understand. Ask God to help you reach that point with wonder and amazement rather than doubt or cynicism (11:33-36).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that the education of the children of your family and friends leads them to marvel at God’s greatness. Ask God for teachers acutely aware of his design and involvement in all areas of creation.

For the Church
Pray for your church’s educational program and personnel. Ask that God’s church will also be faithful in supporting Christian education beyond its local ministries.

For the Kingdom
Pray that God will help all believers to be students of his ways with eyes to see and minds to understand more of his caring control. Ask that God’s kingdom will soon come in fullness.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for those who do not understand from a God-centered perspective. Ask God to open their hearts to his Word.
