Personal Prayer
Praise God, whose incomparable riches are revealed in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:7). Give thanks for your inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade—kept in heaven for you (1 Pet. 1:4). Confess those times when you have valued material things over your inheritance in Jesus Christ. Commit yourself to appreciating daily your inheritance from God (Ps. 16:6). Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you more about what you have received through faith in Christ.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that parents may be wise enough to pass on a spiritual inheritance to their children—faith in Christ—and to retell the stories of faith from grandparents and older members of the church.
For the Church
Pray that your church’s giving may be generous in response to neighborhood needs, knowing that as you give, it will be given you (Lk. 6:38).
For the Kingdom
Pray for the poor who trust in the Lord to meet their needs, that God will be their rich inheritance and their provider.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray that unsaved persons also may come to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light (Col. 1:12).
