Prayer Week: Praying Acts 2:42-47
During our prayer week, let these prayer prompts listed below help guide you in praying with our church family, that the Spirit would enable us to emulate the description of the early church in Acts 2:42-47.
1) Scripture: Acts 2:42 "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers"
Prayer: Praise to God, and thanksgiving, for the Gospel and for the devotion He has wrought within our church family for the Gospel and for one another.
2) Scripture: Acts 2:43 "And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles"
Prayer: Pray for our church leaders, ministries, as well as our individual witness where we work, live, and play, acknowledging our need of the Spirit. Ask God that the Spirit would work among us in ways which are so evident that we would truly be in awe and could only say "God did that".
3) Scripture: Acts 2:44-46 "And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts"
Prayer: Thank God for our fellowship and ask God to increasingly unite us as a local church through mutual care and hosptitality. Pray for specific needs of our members that you are aware of (whether it be sickness, discouragement, financial need, grief, etc.). Ask that we would be a means of those needs being met through the ways we generoulsly and gladly love and care for another.
4) Scripture: Acts 2:47 "praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved"
Prayer: Ask God to lead us in how to love and bless our community in ways which exalt the good news of Jesus. Specifically ask that He guide us in our upcoming "Big Beautiful Saturday"/Serve Day on March 28 . Thank God for good things He has done through us, including those He has added to our number this past year - and ask Him to continue to save our lost friends, family, co-workers, and the unreached among the nations, for it is He alone that can save.
