KINGDOM PRAYERS FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 10, 2024
FMC PRAYER: Lord, we pray for the expansion of Your church in the tri-state region and beyond. May hearts be drawn to Your Kingdom through the truth of the gospel, the love of Jesus Christ, and the evangelism of the saints. Help us recognize the impact of our actions on how others perceive and accept Your Good News. Guide us as we play our part in helping to lead Your people out of darkness and into Your Son’s beautiful light. We want to represent You genuinely and faithfully in the communities You have placed us. Please grant us the patience and boldness we need for this week.
SUNDAY’S SCRIPTURE: Joshua 1:1-9 ~ God Commissions Joshua
FMC ENDSTATE: Throughout the Tri-State Region & Beyond…the Truth of God is pursued…we know that divine wisdom comes from You alone Lord and aligns with Your principles. May our pursuit for Truth begin on our knees as we longingly search and pray to understand Your ways! We know that those who ask, seek, and knock are answered. May our daily decisions constantly remind us where our allegiance lies.
INVISIBLE CHURCH: Lord, shield us from both wicked individuals and corrupt ideologies. Throughout history, our enemy has tried to ruin Your wonderful plans for the world and Your followers. We ask for Your protection against anything that tries to create division, anger, envy, greed, or lust among us. Keep those with bad intentions and false teachings away from us. Help us see through the lies in our society and the lies we’re tempted to believe by focusing our hearts on the Truth that brings love, a clear conscience, and sincere faith (1 Timothy 1:5).
STUDENTS: FAITH + TRUST: Heavenly Father, we come before You seeking Your guidance for our students’ spiritual journey. In a world filled with uncertainties and challenges, grant them the wisdom to comprehend the essence of walking by faith, transcending the limitations of mere sight. As they navigate through the complexities of life, may they find solace and strength in their trust in You.
Amidst the chaos and distractions that surround them, may Your Word be a beacon of light, illuminating their path and nurturing their faith. Provide opportunities for us to share Your Word with them, whether through formal teachings or everyday interactions. Let Your truth resonate deeply within their hearts, empowering them to face life’s trials with courage and conviction.
In nurturing their faith, may they not only grow in knowledge but also in the practical application of Your teachings. Help them to anchor their decisions and actions on the firm foundation of Your Word, knowing that You are their ever-present source of guidance and strength.
SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight + Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
CARE: “Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you’re not saved yourself, be sure of that!” -Spurgeon
Let us fervently pray for those who have yet to encounter Christ or who persistently oppose His ways. In a world constantly enticing us towards sin, we must recognize the urgency for those living outside of Christ’s grace.
May our prayers for them be fervent, seeking the opening of their eyes to the Truth, and may God grant us the strength and courage to act upon His will, speaking and doing what He asks of us in reaching out to those in need of salvation.
