PRAYING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY AND
WORLD
John 3:16 declares God's love not just for us
and our friends, but for "the world." As you pray for
your pastor and for the church you serve together, seek a vision
as big as God's. Consider some of these concerns as you pray:
- The need for believers to have eyes to see
the harvest of souls
- Confession, sorrow, and repentance for
national sins
- Administrative, legislative, and judicial
officials on the local, state or province, national, and
international level
- Needs evident in current news headlines
- Those charged with serving the larger
Church's interests in denominational and educational
institutions
- Victims of natural disaster, man-made
suffering, and spiritual oppression
- Christians enduring persecution for their
faith and witness
- Missionary personnel ministering in
cross-cultural situations
- Political, economic, social, and
environmental conditions impacting the spread of the Gospel
- Favor for Christian workers with persons in
positions of authority and influence who can open doors for
proclaiming the Gospel
