Personal Prayer
Praise God for his faithfulness (2 Cor. 1:18). Give thanks that “no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ” (1:20). Confess any reluctance to trust God. Commit to consciously remembering that God has “anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come” (1:21-22). Ask him to lead you in celebrating this faithfulness in worship.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for a thankful, trusting spirit for your household. Ask God to increase the joy of fellow worshipers through your attitude.

For the Church
Pray for faithfulness to God by those who explain his Word. Ask God to clearly speak through them in a resounding affirmation of his “‘Yes’ in Christ” (1:18-20).

For the Kingdom
Pray for all who listen to God’s Word explained. Ask God’s Spirit to point out specific applications to people in all walks of life, showing them how to seek his kingdom and righteousness in their part of his world.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for the actions and attitudes of God’s people as they go out into your community to impact the unsaved. Ask God to use the faithfulness of his people to draw many to himself.
