Personal Prayer
Praise God that he is kind and good. Give thanks for specific ways you have experienced that since the beginning of this week. Confess times when you have not been a clear and consistent image-bearer of these characteristics of your God. Commit to reflecting him with such quality that others will praise God for his kindness and goodness shown to them through you. Ask God to produce this part of his Holy Spirit’s fruit in you.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that family members and friends will be kind and good to each other in private as well as in public. Ask God to help them hate what is evil and cling to what is good (Rom. 12:9).
For the Church
Pray that good people in your church will bring good things out of the good stored up in their hearts (Lk. 6:45). Ask God to help members extend this to their financial stewardship.
For the Kingdom
Pray that God’s people will honor him by being kind to the needy (Prov. 14:31). Ask God to use those efforts to spread his kingly influence.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray that God will draw an unsaved person you know to himself with his loving kindness (Jer. 31:3). Ask God to draw that person through his goodness and kindness in you.
