Personal Prayer
Give praise to God who is the ruler of all things (1 Chron. 29:12). Thank him for his mighty and powerful acts. Confess times when you’ve questioned God’s power by trusting in your own strength. Commit yourself to exalting God in everything you do this week. Ask him to give you strength to live for him.

For Your Family and Friends
Uphold members of your family who are in special need, who have suffered loss of some kind, or who need encouragement.

For the Church
Pray for the children who worship regularly in your congregation. Ask that they will sense the important role they play in the life of your church.

For the Kingdom
Give thanks to God for the spread of the gospel throughout the world. Pray that worshiping churches will be pleasing to him.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray by name for an unsaved friend, relative, or coworker. Ask God to open this person’s spiritual eyes to the wonder of new life in Christ.
