O God, with all our hearts, we long for you. Come, transform us to be Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, Mission-focused people, multiplying disciples everywhere.
BIBLE READINGS:
Genesis 32:22–32;
Colossians 2:1–3; 4:12
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How could you cultivate more longing for God?
In what ways does your prayer life reflect a struggle on behalf of others?
How much wrestling with God are you willing to do to receive his blessing and multiply disciples who are firm in obeying his will?
PERSONAL PRAYER:
That we would long for God’s blessing as much as Jacob did.
That we would be relentless in seeking God on behalf of the disciples he has called us to make.
That we would have perseverance in prayer until he blesses our disciples
and us.
LISTENING PRAYER:
Jesus, am I longing and wrestling for the right things?
What do you want me to contend for in prayer until you answer?
MISSIONAL PRAYER:
Gaspésie (Gaspé, Matane, Rimouski) | Pray for renewed hope in isolated and historic communities, and for small faith gatherings to remain courageous and rooted.
Lord, we lift up the Huichol people to You. We pray that their hearts be transformed to move from pride in their culture to a love for the Creator and the unique ways He has revealed himself through Wixarika language and culture. In their remote mountains and deep traditions, reveal Your love and truth. Open hearts to the Gospel and raise up workers who will share Christ with compassion and cultural understanding. Bring healing, hope, and peace to their communities.
