Personal Prayer
Praise God for his sovereignty. Thank him for using ordinary people to prompt effectiveness in the Christian movement. Confess those occasions when you knew God was calling you to take a stand . . . and you didn’t. Commit yourself to depending on God’s power with renewed faith to act on those opportunities which shape the church of tomorrow (Col. 4:5-6). Ask, “Lord, what can I do to bring about positive change in your church?”

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your family and friends will receive God’s full forgiveness. Pray that they will experience the joy of extending grace to others more freely.

For the Church
Pray that your worship together reflects a celebration of who God is. Pray for the empowerment of all God’s children to use their gifts and talents in service of the sovereign Lord.

For the Kingdom
Pray that those engaged in religious cults will recognize that forgiveness is experienced only through Jesus Christ.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask that unsaved people you know will experience a desire to question the things of our sovereign God.
