Personal Prayer
Praise God for his glorious grace freely given in his Son, Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:6). Thank him for an outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord (2 Cor. 3:17). Confess those times when the exercise of your freedom has become a stumbling block to the weak (1 Cor. 8:9). Commit yourself to walking in the freedom of God’s Word (Ps. 119:45). Ask God to make you a slave of righteousness (Rom. 6:18).
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that the Lord will set your family and friends free from painful memories.
For the Church
Pray for the caregivers of your church to be especially helpful to believers who are in unhappy marriages with unbelievers (1 Cor. 7:14).
For the Kingdom
Praise God that believers are all baptized by the Spirit into one body— whether Jew or Greek, slave or free—and are all given the same Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13).
For People to Know Jesus
Pray for people you know who are still slaves to sin. Ask God to show them through you that he has not deserted them but is waiting patiently for salvation to come to their house (Acts 16:29-32).
