August 6th
Pray the names and attributes of God: God is love
Praise the Lord who loves us so much that He gave His only Son to bring us into fellowship with Him. Praise the Lord, whose love is higher than the heavens, and whose faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Pray our church values: Filled and empowered by the Spirit
Pray that we would repent and renounce anything in us that opposes or grieves the Holy Spirit, including striving to serve and do ministry apart from His Spirit and His strength. Pray that we would be full of the Spirit, wholly dependent on Him, living and laboring by His great power, full of His joy and peace.
Pray the Word: China ministry
Please pray for greater unity of heart and of purpose, that brothers and sisters in China would not shrink back in the midst of greater political opposition and suppression. Pray that such pressure would lead to an even more acute awareness and understanding of the need of the hour!
“Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God” (Philippians 1:27-28).
