Personal Prayer
Praise the Lord, your Savior and your God. Thank God for the hope that he gives to you and for the fact that he never forgets you. Confess all the desires which you have that crowd out your desire for God himself. Commit your soul to panting after God “as the deer pants for streams of water” (Ps. 42:1). Ask that you will “delight yourself in the LORD and [that he will give] you the desires of your heart” (Ps. 37:4).
For Your Family and Friends
Ask God to cause your friends and family to have a deep thirst for him, and to allow nothing else to quench that thirst.
For the Church
Pray that your church’s efforts to reach others for Christ will be driven by a deep desire for people to experience what you have experienced in Christ.
For the Kingdom
Pray that your local and regional government leaders will come to know Christ and give him glory by making decisions according to his will. Pray for strength for Christians in government.
For People to Know Jesus
Jesus said, “Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst” (Jn. 4:14). Pray that three unsaved persons you know will drink the living water from Jesus.
