Personal Prayer
Praise God as the one from whom all things have come; praise him as the one to whom you are going when you are called home. Thank God that your relationship with him extends beyond this life. Confess the times when your focus has been only on physical needs, not God’s eternal purpose for you (Mt. 6:33). Commit yourself to seeking God’s will for you and to hearing the voice of his Spirit through the preaching of the Word. Ask God to reveal himself to you in his splendor and glory.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that as your family members and friends worship, God may “give [them] the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that [they] may know him better” (Eph. 1:17).

For the Church
Pray that people in your congregation may worship with more of a desire to praise the living God than to be pleased or entertained.

For the Kingdom
Pray for those preachers in other countries who must serve eight or ten churches at a time. Ask God to give them strength and to provide lay leaders who can minister in their absence.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to put in the hearts of unsaved friends a hunger for him and for the warmth of fellowship in a local church.
