Personal Prayer
Praise your great, mighty, and awesome covenant-keeping God (Neh. 9:32). Thank God for strengthening those whose hearts are fully committed to him (2 Chron. 16:9). Confess those times when you depend on your own strength rather than God’s (Eccl. 5:7). Commit yourself to spending time daily reflecting on God’s awe, his faithfulness, and might (Ps. 89:6-8). Ask God’s forgiveness for neglecting him when hardships arise.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that God will reassure your family that he does care for them and will restore their fortunes even as the great day of the Lord draws near (Zeph. 2:3, 7).

For the Church
Pray that your congregation will reflect on the Lord’s righteousness and justice in worship this week (Zeph. 3:5).

For the Kingdom
Pray that God’s kingdom will grow as oppressed people recognize God’s awesome majesty and come to him in faith.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for God to use you today to lead an oppressed unbeliever to recognize God’s awesome majesty.
