Personal Prayer
Praise your Father as the head over the entire family of believers (Eph. 3:14-15). Thank God for the love he lavishes on you and others as he calls you “children of God” (1 Jn. 3:1). Confess those times when you have felt comfortable in your own circle of Christian brothers and sisters and forgotten to reach out to others beyond your own “family.” Commit yourself this week to gaining at least one new brother or sister in Christ. Ask God to lead you to a person in your life who is ready to accept the gospel.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for the believing teenagers you know, that they will be strong enough in their faith to witness to friends who are into drugs or premarital sex or rebellion toward God and their parents.

For the Church
Pray for the midweek outreach efforts of your congregation, that they may result in many neighborhood families coming to know Christ.

For the Kingdom
Ask God to fill all the outreach efforts of his church worldwide with his love, that Christians of all nations will “not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth” (1 Jn. 3:18).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that God will use you this week as the “salt of the earth”—in your actions as well as your words—to bring another person closer to the family of God.
