This Sunday, Churches will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. Hopefully, you plan on attending worship. I dream that the people of God will support one another in prayer. Here are a few things for you to pray about from now till Sunday.
1. Pray for Outreach. Numerous people have invited others to join them for this special day. Be in prayer that people accept the invitation and follow through on attending. Pray that their heart will be open and God will use this day to touch their soul.
2. Pray for the Children. Pray that the message of Jesus will reach the youngest generations through children’s Church. Pray for kind and warm people working in the nursery that would make parents feel at ease. Children are often the key to the parent’s heart.
3. Pray for the Worship Team. People have been preparing worship music, special songs, videos, and scripture readings. May everyone sing loudly, and the joy of the Lord overflow through our auditoriums. Don’t forget to pray for the sound and PowerPoint people, too.
4. Pray for Pastor/Preacher. (People like me) This is our Superbowl. Pray the sermon comes together and that we are able to speak boldly about the resurrection of Jesus. Pray for the person who preaches to rest well the night before, to shut out the voices of darkness, and to speak in the power of the Holy Spirit.
5. Pray that Jesus becomes famous. This weekend is not about giving praise to a worship team, teacher, or preacher. It is entirely about Jesus. Pray his name is glorified and people know him better because of what happened this weekend.
