Praying For The Church

Praying For The Church

Prayer summer school continues this week with an encouragement to pray for the church. When it comes to praying for the church, I recommend using the prayers of Jesus and the apostles. They can be prayed for your local congregation as well as the church universal. Besides being biblical and inspired of the Spirit, these New Testament prayers are positive in nature, which shows us that God’s heart is positive in nature toward His church. Focus on praying these prayers and soon your heart will shift in a positive direction for the church instead of perhaps feeling negative toward the church. Those prayers of Jesus and the apostles were given to us for a reason, and God delights in answering them as you pray. Now that’s something to pray about!
