Personal Prayer
Praise God for communicating with you in his inspired Word. Thank him for providing a “lamp to [your] feet and a light to [your] path” (Ps. 119:105). Confess any doubts you’ve harbored concerning the authority of God’s Word in your life. Commit yourself to treasuring the words of God more than daily bread (Job 23:12). Ask God to feed you spiritually as you look to his Word for guidance throughout this week.

For Your Family and Friends
Think of one specific family. Pray that this family would set aside time every day for family devotions and prayer. Ask God to make this practice a blessing in their family life.

For the Church
Thank God for the outreach ministries of your congregation. Pray for the work of your deacons. Pray for the ministries of mercy which they perform on your behalf.

For the Kingdom
Pray for Bible publishers and distribution agencies, such as the Gideons, who make the Word of God readily available to millions of people. Ask that God will prosper their work and witness.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask that unsaved people you know will discover the irresistible sweetness of God’s Word (Ps. 119:103) and be drawn to Christ through it.

“The answer of our prayers is secured by the fact that in rejecting them God would in a certain sense deny his own nature.” —John Calvin
