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 5
March 14
“Learn to do what is good. Pursue justice. Correct the oppressor. Defend the rights of the fatherless. Plead the widow’s cause.”
— Isaiah 1:17
REMINDER: We serve a God who is just, and because we are made in His image, we too have a deep longing to see justice prevail. Of course, we also live in a broken world full of unjust agendas. We must not only pray that the Lord would bring justice to our land, but invite him to use us as agents of justice and mercy in our own ministry.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Pray for those in our midst who may have been forgotten or cast aside.
– Invite the Lord to show you any opportunities in your own life where you can be a messenger of peace and hope.
– Ask God if there is any aspect of your heart in which you have devalued another life. If so, ask how you might reverse that sentiment and restore what is broken.
– Pray specifically for the widow’s cause, as is mentioned in today’s passage: pray that those who do not have a support system around them would be surrounded with the help they need.
