GLOBAL CRISIS PRAYERS – Praying for Everyone, EverywhereSample
Day 1. Pray for Your Family.
Let’s start with those close to home—actually, in your home. List the name of each member of your family. If you are married, include your spouse’s family members.
Entrust each one to the Lord. Pray Scripture on his or her behalf. Here is an example:
Heavenly Father, I pray Exodus 15:26 over my family: “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer.” Thank you that _______ is created in Your image and beloved by You; may _______ fully turn to You, trust You, and be watched over and protected by You.
Thank the Lord for what He has done, is doing, and will do in each of their lives.
Especially in crisis times, pray that God will bless, guide, keep, and use them; meet them at their point of need; and draw them ever one step closer to Jesus Christ.
About this Plan
While we’re called to pray at all times, we especially cry out to God in times of global crises—such as poverty, violence, disease. Yet how do we pray globally? How can we pray for everyone, everywhere? Over the next seven days, you'll find practical ways you can talk to God about people near and far, ensuring that “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
