Here is your daily Love2Pray prayer pattern. It is designed to help you to pray beyond just everyday needs.

Personal Prayer
Praise God as Comforter, Immanuel (“God with us”), Paraclete (“one who stands alongside”). Give thanks for his promise: “I . . . have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand” (Isa. 42:6). Confess those times when you have doubted that God’s hand has been in front of and behind you, guarding your life (Ps. 139:5). Commit the times of your life into God’s hands (Ps. 31:14-15). Ask him to show you how close he is to you.

For Your Family and Friends
Ask God to make his presence known to family members or friends who are going through difficult times (Isa. 43:1-2).

For the Church
Pray that your deacons may be God’s hands of compassion and God’s presence to those who are struggling, frightened, or lonely.

For the Kingdom
Pray for missionaries who work in Muslim countries, that through them God may “open eyes that are blind, . . . free captives from prison, and . . . release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness” (Isa. 42:7).

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to make you his hands of compassion in the life of one unsaved person this week.
