1. Colossians 4:2, 5-6 “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving. Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” Father God, it seems hard to devote ourselves to prayer with so many things calling for our attention. Would You help us to set boundaries over our time and commitments? Help us to recognize opportunities to pray for one another and to do that fervently.
2. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.” Father, we desire to be bold and believing as we pray, to be filled with compassion and love as we see needs around us and to be disciplined to study, pray, witness and act in obedience in whatever circumstance You place us.
