Continuing in our quest to learn how to pray, I want to encourage you to pray for other church members this week. You might have a long list – there are a lot of people to pray for! But that doesn’t mean you can’t get started.
Don’t pray: “God bless all the church members.” That’s good, but it’s hard to put your heart behind such a vague prayer request. We must make it intentional.
Try this activity out this week. In your Bible, place a notecard where you go ahead and pick a prayer focus for every day of the week regarding your church. Here’s an example:
- Sunday – church staff
- Monday – C-Group
- Tuesday – family members
- Wednesday – MIA church members
- Thursday – men you know who need to step it up in the home
- Friday – those close to becoming Christian
- Saturday – Project Love workers
Set up a prayer guide like that for the coming week. Instead of praying for it once and moving on, make that the prayer focus for the whole day – you will be surprised at how you can start praying without ceasing (1 Thess 5:17).
