Week 2: Prayer for Servants
This week, we will pray for all the Sojourners who will be moving to the St. Matthews location as well as those staying in Germantown. Remember to pray that all Sojourners will remain united and connected as we expand in the metro area.
Day 8: Our Father in Heaven
John 4:34-”My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work.”
Request-Pray that doing the will of the Father and obeying His commands would be nourishment to the servants of Sojourn.
Day 9: Hallowed be Your name
Corporate Fast Day
1 Peter 2:9-But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.
Request-Pray that God will continually mold servants into holy priests who minister to
each other and to unbelievers-who proclaim the holiness of the Lord God.
Day 10: Your kingdom come
Matthew 13:33-He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
Request-Pray that the kingdom results that come from the gospel efforts of servants
will be multiplied by God in unimaginable ways.
Day 11: Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven
Colossians 1:9- For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Request-Pray that servants will stay close to Jesus and be spiritually discerning by continually studying the Bible and being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Day 12: Give us today our daily bread
Psalm 37:25-I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
Request-Pray that God will provide for all the material needs of servants. Pray that He will provide jobs that enable them to provide for their families.
Day 13: Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors
Colossians 3:13-Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Request-Pray that servants will be quick to forgive one another. Pray that they will show grace to one another. Pray that their love for one another will point unbelievers to Christ.
Day 14: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one
1 Peter 5:8-9-Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith,
because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind
of sufferings.
Request-Pray that servants will resist the attacks of the enemy, and pray that resistance and strong faith will encourage others to do the same.
