Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Church Family,
I’m deeply grateful for all who are joining me in this season of earnest prayer for God’s blessing of Kingsland, and for wisdom and provision as we seek to follow God’s leading. This week, as we transition from the Beatitudes of Matthew 5, let’s pray out of the final “blessing” shared by the Lord: we need His power to face opposition from a culture that is averse to the things of God. As the culture continues to move further from the standards God has set forth, the differences in our own beliefs and the prevailing beliefs around us will have a greater contrast. Let’s pray together for wisdom, strength, and favor with those same neighbors as we seek to share the truth in love.
– Pastor Ryan Rush
Week 2
Day 3
March 12
“First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
— 1 Timothy 2:1-4
REMINDER: Paul wrote the passage today to Pastor Timothy in the midst of an unimaginably wicked government. Even so, Paul called them (and us) to pray that the Lord would change their hearts. Today, we have the privilege and freedom to participate in our nation’s government. What a blessing! We can, and should do what we can to put wise, Godly people in seats of power. In the meantime, we must also pray for them – trusting that God is able to bring transformation to lives.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Ask the Lord to bless the political leaders who impact your life – on a national, state, and local level.
– Pray that the Lord would convict those who are seeking to bring about changes that are against God’s Word.
– Pray that God would raise up a new generation of leaders who fear the Lord and seek His wisdom.
