The Making of a Prayer Journal - Part Four (Praying for your Church)

In the post last week, I gave you the seven topics for which we would pray daily.  For the next 3-4 weeks I want to share how to pray each day for these subjects.

On Sunday, we pray for our church.  Pray Colossians 1: 3 "We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you."

Pray for our Sunday worship service for the complete work of the Holy Spirit to be accomplished through His Word, for the manifested presence of Jesus to be experienced, and for God to be greatly glorified. 

Pray for the unsaved guests and members who attend to be captured by the Holy Spirit resulting in them repenting and placing their full faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Pray for God to call our pastors and missionaries from among our church family.

Pray for your Pastor as He preaches.  Pray for God to anoint him with fresh oil.  Pray for our hearts to be open and sensitive to the Word coming from God's man to God's people at this time.

On this day, pray by name for your Pastor and his family.  Pray for each ministerial staff member and their families.  Pray for the elders and deacons of the church.

Pray for Sunday School teachers.

Pray for revival in the church.  

There is a great resource here for "31 Days of Praying for Your Pastor"

I have a sheet inserted into my prayer journal for each of the different persons on this day.
