Week of September 6, 2026 ~ A Prayer for Guidance Morning ~ Holy Spirit, You know my heart. You understand my deepest wants and needs, and You know my every intention. You know me better than I know myself. There is nowhere I could run to escape Your presence, and nothing I could hide from You! And that’s why, right now, I am asking You to give me Your divine wisdom and guidance. I don’t always know what to pray for. My soul is weary and I am tired. I often worry about making the right decision—but I want to live a life that honors You. Amen https://www.youversion.com/ CCLI #116417 Evening ~ Even though I may feel like I can’t move forward or see what’s ahead—You see me. And You know me. So please guide me. Show me the paths that lead to abundant life, and convict me when I am tempted to stray from You. As You guide me, restore me. I will place my hope in You at all times because You know all things, and by You, my life is held together. You are my strength in times of need, and You have become my salvation. So hold me close, Lord, and teach me to walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have given me. Direct my steps as You guard my life, because I want to glorify You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. https://www.youversion.com/ CCLI #11641794

Week of August 30, 2026 Morning ~ for the leaders Lord, we lift up our leaders, both here and abroad, who are tasked with making difficult and quick decisions. Give them the clarity to approach each decision with wisdom and care. We know that being a leader in this situation would be no easy task – give us understanding and patience for their decisions, even when we may not agree with them. Each leader was placed in their position for a reason, and we pray that You would guide them to choose what is best for the troops helping, as well as the citizens looking for help. Give our leaders humility and knowledge to negotiate and deliberate. Help them ultimately look to You for guidance, and allow the Holy Spirit to nudge them to pray over each decision that is made. Amen James 1: 5 https://www.crosswalk.com/ CCLI #11641794 Evening ~ for the missionaries Lord, we pray for the missionaries as well as those visiting Iran / Middle East right now. We thank You for the brave men and women who leave their comfortable homes here to minister and serve lost people in other countries. There is always a small risk in doing anything outside of Your comfort zone, but these missionaries stand up to those risks in order to further the gospel. We pray that You would not only protect them but that You would do amazing things through them in the midst of this. Help them to be a light in the darkness for You – to spread Your comfort, peace, and assurance to those who are afraid. Let their witness spread to everyone around them. And if need be, give them the courage and strength to defend Your name under persecution. Amen Psalm 34: 7-9 https://www.crosswalk.com/ CCLI #11641794

Week of 08/23/2026 - A Prayer for Iran & Middle East Morning ~ Lord, even when it doesn’t make sense to our earthly selves, You call us to pray for those who persecute (Matthew 5:44). We lift up the leaders and people in Iran to You today. We pray that Your Holy Spirit would work in them and soften their hearts. Only You truly know their hearts, Lord. Just as we are Your children, help us to remember that they are Your children as well and You love them deeply. Help us to desire the restoration of their hearts and welcome them with open arms into the family of Christ when their hearts are changed. You alone can work in their hearts and minds, and we pray that through this process we see a transformation and revival. Let us continue to lift them up to You in love, knowing that You came to save each and every one of us. Amen https://www.crosswalk.com/ CCLI #11641794 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Evening ~ We know that ultimately, God is sovereign over all things. No matter what wars are being waged, won, or lost here on earth, God will have the victory in the end. It’s so hard for us to see this reality while we live through fearful and uncertain events. But by turning our eyes to God and lifting up our fears and desires to Him, we can truly know that He is in control. Lift up these prayers today for God’s protection over the people of Iran, the troops, and the leaders. Also pray that God would transform the hearts of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, that they might see His love and glory, and choose peace. There is nothing more powerful or important that we can do right now as believers than to pray. Use these prayers as a starting point to lift up Afghanistan and all those affected by the takeover. https://www.crosswalk.com/ CCLI #11641794
