Monday: persecuted church
Heavenly Father,
We come to You today on behalf of Christians worldwide who are being persecuted. We pray that they will stand firm in their faith and place all their trust in You because You are trustworthy. We also pray for those doing the persecuting. May they see the Gospel at work and hear the truth so that their hearts can also be changed. We have read how Paul was changed and know that Jesus changes people. We pray for comfort for those who are separated from their families because of persecution. May they lean on You and the promises in Your Word. For this is not our home. In Jesus name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, we come to You this day to pray for those who are dealing with fires, flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, any number of natural disasters. We ask for protection for them, we ask that You guide any rescue workers as they are needed, we ask that You provide help in these situations. May those dealing with these things seek Your help that what they are going through would clearly point them to You. And may the Gospel go out to those in need of it. In Jesus name, Amen.

Wednesday: missionaries
Heavenly Father,
We come to You today to pray for the missionaries throughout the world. We ask that You would thoroughly equip them for the spiritual battle they are in. We ask that You would open doors that seem shut, open ears that are closed, and soften hearts with the Gospel. We ask that You will be their comfort when it's lonely, their healer when there is sickness, and their light when it seems so very dark. We ask that You would please make the way smooth for those who are trying to return to the field during this time of covid restrictions. We also pray for those who have accepted Your truth and trusted in Jesus. May they continue to serve Him only and grow as disciples. In His name we pray, Amen.

Thursday:
Heavenly Father,
We thank You, Father, for sending Your Son. We are thankful that we have a High Priest who intercedes for us. We are grateful that we can come to You through Him. We ask today that You will strengthen our faith where it is lacking. May we also be able to stand for Your truth and turn from everything else. Help us to run and not grow weary. May we be able to keep our mind on the things above and not the things of this earth, for in that we also know that we will have peace and rest. Remind us that You have all that we need and our treasure is stored with You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Friday:
Heavenly Father,
We thank You today for those pastors and teachers who are solid followers of Jesus, who teach the Word truthfully, and who desire to see their congregations well fed. We ask that You give them the strength and wisdom they need to stand firm against all that seems to be coming at the Church. Please give them wisdom for the decisions they have to make concerning opening their church (or staying open) and the safety of the congregation. May they also be a source of strength and encouragement to those who know them. Thank You for the Gospel and for those who proclaim its truth. In Jesus name, amen.

Monday: the US President
Heavenly Father,
Today we pray for President Biden, his staff, and those working with him in various positions. We know that their greatest need is faith in Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. We ask today that You would make Yourself very obvious to them. May they hear the Gospel proclaimed clearly. May they recognize that You are King and You desire them to follow You. May hearts be changed. In Jesus name, Amen.

Tuesday:
Heavenly Father,
We know from Your Word that there will be false teachers. There have always been those that twist the Scriptures or teach a different Gospel. We pray today that there would be many who would become convicted of this. We ask that You would open their hearts and eyes to their deception and falseness, and to the fact that they are not leading people to Jesus and salvation. May they see that they are actually working for the enemy and not You. We also pray for those sitting in those churches to see the Truth. May they come out of darkness and into Your light. In Jesus name, Amen.

Wednesday: prayer
Heavenly Father,
We come to You this day as a people who have great needs, who have family and friends with great needs, who see nations with great needs. Physical and spiritual needs. We also know that prayer can be our greatest resource, yet many times we neglect it. We ask today that You would clothe us with Your armor so we may battle where necessary, that You would call to our hearts to come and meet with You, that we would remember that we can come to the throne on behalf of all these needs. May we be a people in communion with You, sharing our needs, and praises, and thanksgiving always and without ceasing knowing You hear us. In Jesus name, amen.

Thursday:
Heavenly Father,
We know that Your Word says that "God is love", and that people will know we are yours by our love - a love that comes from You. We ask today that You will fill us with Your love for others. May it come out in the way we talk and interact, in the way we live and the things we do for others. May we be motivated by Your love and not by some selfish thought. May it be a testimony to who we follow. In Jesus name, Amen.
