Personal Prayer
Praise God for his indescribable love. Thank God for loving you so much that he would sacrifice his own son. Confess ways you have not been generous with your love in response. Commit to offering even your very body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God (Rom. 12:1). Ask him to help you not to be conformed to the world but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind (12:2).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for Christian friends and family members to stand true for God no matter the cost. Ask that they be filled with God’s joy in the midst of sacrifices.

For the Church
Pray for believers being persecuted for righteousness. Ask God to help them remember the heavenly reward, enabling all to rejoice and be glad even in the face of insults and false accusations for the sake of Christ (Mt. 5:10-12).

For the Kingdom
Pray that Christians giving sacrificially will be irresistible evidence of the presence and power of God. Ask God to multiply these sacrifices for the extension of his kingdom.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that God will give you opportunities to give of your time and resources to help an unsaved acquaintance. Ask God to help you continue to share his love in spite of possible opposition.
