Praise God for the gift of His Word. Ask Him to help us all grow our trust in His Scriptures as we grow in our commitment to read and study the Bible. Pray for Him to transform our lives and produce fruit in our lives through His Word.

This week we are praying for Grace House Ministries (grace-house.org). For over 30 years, Grace House Ministries has been providing stable, Christian homes for Alabama girls in foster care on their residential campus in Fairfield. Their approach seeks to end cycles of poverty and abuse by educating, equipping, and empowering them to become mature, godly women. We are also praying for Urban Hope Community Church and Pastor Alton Hardy.

DAY 1: Pray for each girl who comes to Grace House. Pray for God to reveal Himself to them and for them to experience the love of Jesus Christ in a tangible way. Pray they would come into authentic and intentional relationship with God.

DAY 2: Pray for each girl who leaves Grace House. Pray they would be equipped spiritually, academically, relationally, and professionally to break generational cycles of poverty and abuse. Pray for God to create and propel transformational change in their lives, families, and communities.

DAY 3: Pray for the foster parents serving at Grace House. Ask God to give them hearts of love, compassion, and grace as they serve the girls in their care. Pray for Him to give them strength and endurance as they face challenges in parenting. Pray God would be a refuge for them and would protect them from burnout.

DAY 4: Pray for the staff at Grace House. Pray they would be led by the Holy Spirit to operate in wisdom and truth. Pray for God to daily renew and refresh their spirits. Pray that not only would they have a heart for God but also for the girls they serve each day.

DAY 5: Pray for God to open doors for Grace House to expand its care. Pray for them to continue to cultivate safe homes for girls with excellence and integrity.

DAY 6: Pray for God to give the leadership vision and discernment. Pray He would reveal how Grace House might continue to faithfully serve the city of Fairfield and demonstrate the gospel in word and deed.

This week we are praying for the ongoing conflict in Iran and the Middle East. Join us as we confidently intercede for this area of the world in the name of Jesus praying for the promotion of the gospel even in the midst of war. Pray with us for God to bring about salvation for those who do not know him and the consolation of hearts by His Spirit. Join us in interceding on behalf of the Church to stand tall in this crisis and be a fruitful witness of the hope and peace we have in Jesus.

DAY 1: Pray for the safety of all people, especially innocent civilians, impacted by this conflict. Ask God to make His presence known to them, and pray they will turn to the Lord and seek refuge in Him during their time of distress.

DAY 2: Ask God to sustain and strengthen the persecuted church in Iran. Pray for Him to protect them and guide them by His Spirit and give them deep, abiding peace to endure. 

DAY 3: Pray for the restoration of order and security in Iran, Israel, and neighboring countries throughout the Middle East. Ask God to give wisdom and guidance for all engaged in diplomacy, and pray their efforts would lead to a just and lasting peace. Pray for leaders and authorities to act justly and lead humbly, surrendering themselves to God’s ways.

DAY 4: Ask God to give our workers who are serving in this area of the world peace that passes all understanding. Pray for God to give them gospel opportunities with their unbelieving friends and for them to be faithful to share the Good News with those who may be hurting or fearful. Ask God to provide protection over them physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

DAY 5: Pray for the worldwide church to be salt and light, doing good for the glory of God. Ask God to give the church boldness to proclaim their hope and faith in Christ. Pray for God to sustain His Church in unity and for Him to strengthen the Church to maintain a faithful witness in the Middle East. 

DAY 6: Ask God, by His Spirit, to move on people in this region and across the globe, to open their eyes to the truth of the gospel. Pray they would choose to follow Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
