Personal Prayer
Praise the Father who has compassion on his children. Thank him for forgiving all your sins, healing all your diseases, redeeming your life from the pit, crowning you with love and compassion, and satisfying your desires with good things (Psalm 103). Confess those periods in your day when you are unaware of God’s faithful, watching, loving presence beside you and within you. Commit yourself to watching for signs of his love and tenderness toward you. Ask him to draw you closer to himself.

For Your Friends and Family
Pray for families where you suspect abuse, that God will provide healing, protection, and love for those who suffer.

For the Church
Pray that the oil of God’s love will be like a sweet scent in all the activities of your church’s fellowship this week. Ask God to let you share his love in a specific way with at least one other church member this week.

For the Kingdom
Pray for “those who are least in the kingdom of heaven”—the poor, sick, lonely, outcast, struggling, grieving—that they may find the Father’s love in a warm church fellowship.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that through your loving concern this week, one person may be brought closer to the kingdom of God.
