Today's post wraps up a series of posts that have revealed some of the things I pray for or about. My intention, or hope, has been to provide a template that you can follow in your prayer life.
I pray for our political leaders:
- Local
- Our Mayor
- Our Town Council
I want it to go well for our town and I want our church to be a blessing to the town. I feel the responsibility of this regularly as two of the council men and their families worship at Explore Church!
- State
- Governor
- House & Senate
- Courts
Likewise, I want it to go well for our state and, as possible, I want our church to be a blessing to our state.
- National
- President Obama
- Vice-President Biden
- Secretary of State Kerry
- White House Staff and Cabinet
- Congress
- House
- Senate
- Judicial
- The Supreme Court
- Chief Justice Roberts
Again, I want it to go well for our nation. We are blessed to be able to live and worship in a free country. I want it to stay that way! I pray for wisdom and discernment for our leaders, that they would guide us well.
Finally, I typically close my prayer time with special issues that are on my mind. For example, I am currently praying about the future location and expansion of our church. As our future is currently uncertain and in some doubt, I am praying for clarity and direction as to what is best next for Explore Church. Please join me in this request!
I hope these posts on what I pray have been helpful.
As Paul charged the Thessalonians, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.
