Matthew 6:10 says: “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
If there was ever a time for us to gather as God’s people to pray for our world and for God’s will to be done in it, it is now. It’s our privilege to petition and intercede on behalf of others. What an opportune time to pray for our government, our leaders, our pastors, and those on the mission field all over the world. These are difficult days for many who have lost jobs, are facing loneliness, or are grieving someone they’ve lost. Remember Jill Briscoe’s words, “We can go anywhere on our knees!” This is your opportunity to go to those places.
PRAYER PROMPT: THE WORLD
- Spend time praying for the people in your community.
- Pray through the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13.
- Pray for those in power in our government; for wisdom.
- Pray for your church leaders.
- Make a phone call, Skype, Zoom, or Facetime with a friend or group of friends and join together in praying for God’s intervention at this critical time in our world history.
