30 Days Of Prayer Week Two
May 8th
Pray that the elders remain above reproach - that they would be kept from falling into temptation, complacency, and worldliness.
Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
Titus 1:7-9
May 9th
Pray that the church's prayers would be infused with biblical ambitions, honesty, and humility.
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."
Matthew 6:5
May 10th
Pray that the church's songs would teach members to biblically confess, lament, and praise.
"Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples."
Psalm 96:1-3
May 11th
Pray that the church's adult members would work to disciple younger church members.
"You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us."
Titus 2:1-8
May 12th
Pray that the church's primary teachers and leaders grow in dedication to God's Word.
"Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day."
Acts 17:11
May 13th
Pray that the church would grow in being distinct from the world in love and holiness as it works to engage those outside of the church.
[Prayer of Jesus to His Father, God] "My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world."
John 17:15-18
May 14th
Pray that members of the church would share the gospel this week with others who are not believers!
"So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly."
Acts 6:7
