Sunday: Count at least five blessings from God to us as a church and be thankful to Him for them. Ask Him that we may live a life worth living for the One who has tremendously blessed us.
Monday: Give thanks to God for another week gone by and a new one starting. Pray for all the ministries that lie ahead of us as a church. Pray that we may be empowered to do them all by the Holy Spirit.
Tuesday: Pray for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to be held in high honour in our church, our lives, in our communities, in our nation(s), in those who govern us, and in the world.
Wednesday: Continue to pray for the healing and strength for those who are experiencing mental and physical health struggles.
Thursday: Pray for unity in the church and peace in the world.
Friday: Pray for the persecuted church (Christians who are really suffering because of their faith). Pray that they may continue to stand their ground in the face of suffering.
Saturday: Continue to pray for folks (in our family, our neighbourhoods and among our friends) who do not yet know Jesus Christ, and have not yet accepted him as their Saviour and Lord, to come to faith. Think of a least one person and pray for them.
